A little bit aromatherapy is one of the most affordable luxuries, and science has proven that certain scents can alter your mood – like citrus or peppermint for energy, and lavender or vanilla for a calming effect. Your sense of smell is closely associated with memory – it’s fun to keep this in mind when selecting scented candles for your home or as a gift. Love the scent of freshly cut grass or burning leaves?  The seaside in summer, evergreens & firesides in winter, the smell of cakes baking, peppermint hot chocolate, pumpkin pie & spices? There are candles for them all. And the manufacturers know well that it’s important that our scented candles make a style statement as well – you can pick any look you like, ranging from baroque and gilded…. to so clear and unadorned as to fade completely into the background of your decor. Many come in vessels that you will want to save and repurpose after the candle has burned out.
So as we start spending more time indoors this fall and winter, why not make it a pleasant experience? We found some amazing new scents and old favorites in the stores – like vanilla orchid & almond, pinebark, cinnamon hazelnut latte, and lemon drop. Find yours and indulge your senses this season.
