Smell the Difference: How to Choose the Perfect Scented Candle for Your Space

Smell the Difference: How to Choose the Perfect Scented Candle for Your Space

When it comes to home décor, there's nothing more important than scent.

 The right scent can create the right atmosphere in your home. It can instantly change the mood of any room, and it's an essential part of creating ambience.

 And while you might not be able to see the effect that a certain fragrance has on your surroundings, you can definitely feel it. Scent affects your mood and can even impact your health—even if you aren't always aware of it!

 It is also  a great way to heighten your surroundings, create a sense of atmosphere in a space, relax your mind and body. 

But before you go out there and buy floating candles and matchless candle sticks you need to know what kind of scent will work best with your room's theme and ambience.

Before you start your choosing process , keep these things in mind:

Think about the purpose of your candle, and where  will it  be used. Consider whether you want the look and fragrance of your design to make a bold statement or subtle addition to your space. 

Remember that candles are not just for warmers! They can also be used as centerpieces, votives, or even just as a simple decoration!

 

  1. Consider the material your candles is made of 
Like most things, when it comes to candle wax, natural is the best choice. you'll need to select a scented candle made with no toxins, carcinogens, or pollutants that can potentially trigger allergies 
 
As a vegetable-based wax, it does not give off any harmful byproducts or produce black soot that can stain walls and curtains like the other leading waxes.
  1. What is the lifespan of the candle 

It's also important to remember that a scented candle is not only designed to add fragrance to the air; it also acts as a source of warmth during winter months. soy candles will burn slower and longer than paraffin candles. Oils evaporate better from a larger surface area and with the lower heat and larger melt pool soy wax creates a scent that will be that much stronger and more pleasant.  

  1. Different scents evoke a different kind of vibe in a space.

Oud is a woody, musky scent with a Middle Eastern vibe

one of the oldest scents in history. It's said to be a powerful remedy for everything from stress and anxiety to insomnia and depression. In ancient times, Egyptians used Oud to cure everything from migraines to skin ailments and respiratory infections (yes, even boils!). Nowadays, it is often associated with its potency to soothe your nervous system and cultivate focus and alertness. 

But oud has a strong scent and thus it must be ensured that its placed in a large area where there is ample ventilation so the smell is distributed evenly and far apart.
