Benefits of Burning Scented Candles

Fragrances can be a powerful tool to create an inviting atmosphere and enhance the overall experience of a space. Three benefits of burning scented candles are:

1) FUNCTIONAL. Aromatic candles are one of the most popular fragrance options, as they are easy to use and provide a pleasant and lasting fragrance even after the candle is blown out. Introducing fragrance into a room can establish a base fragrance, mask unpleasant odors, and freshen a space.

2) EXPERIENCE. Scented candles are often used to create a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere for people. For example, aromatherapy is an ancient practice used for many centuries to help reduce stress and anxiety. Ancient Egyptians used fragrance to freshen bed linens, and perfumes were used to impress guests. Candles of different colors and fragrance notes can be used in combination to create a particular atmosphere tailored to you and your family.

3) WELLNESS. Lighting a scented candle makes us feel good! Think about cleaning your home, freshly washed sheets, and sitting down to light a candle and relax. Lighting a candle can improve your mood, help you unwind, or evoke nostalgia. Different fragrance notes can trigger emotional responses, such as a floral scent that may make you feel like you are in nature or a specific fragrance with strong childhood memories. Fragrance can even lift your spirits on a bad day and give you that extra boost of confidence.
