Lighting a scented candle is much more than adding fragrance to a room: it's creating an atmosphere, evoking an emotion, transforming an ordinary moment into a precious one. But how do you choose the fragrance that suits you or that will resonate with the person you're giving it to?
Discover our complete guide to selecting the perfect candle fragrance:
Why is fragrance the soul of a candle?
A candle's scent is its true signature. A floral fragrance soothes and invites serenity, a fruity note infuses freshness and vitality, while a woody accord adds depth and elegance. Choosing the right fragrance, therefore, means choosing the atmosphere you wish to create in your home or with your gift.
The main fragrance families of candles:
-
Floral fragrances: softness and lightness
Rose, jasmine, cotton flower or peony: these delicate fragrances evoke sunny days and adorn your spaces with a poetic freshness.
-
Fruity fragrances: freshness and vitality
Fig, citrus or red fruits: vibrant scents that bring energy and conviviality, perfect for brightening up a living room or kitchen.
-
Gourmand fragrances: warmth and comfort
Vanilla, white musk or tonka bean: enveloping notes that create a cozy atmosphere, ideal for autumn and winter.
-
Woody and spicy fragrances: elegance and intensity
Olive wood, oud or patchouli: deep and refined perfumes that create a more distinctive, elegant and sophisticated atmosphere.
How to choose the candle fragrance according to your preferences?
Choose for yourself: an atmosphere that reflects your personality
Ask yourself what you are looking for: relaxing softness, stimulating energy, assertive intensity? The fragrance becomes a reflection of your state of mind.
Choosing to give: a gift full of emotion
A floral fragrance expresses tenderness, a gourmand note evokes the warmth of a memory, a woody fragrance underscores character and originality. Giving a scented candle is offering an intimate sensory experience.
