Living room: Choose a warm and inviting scent such as vanilla or cinnamon to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Kitchen: Choose a fresh and invigorating scent such as lemon or grapefruit to counteract cooking odors and create a clean and refreshing atmosphere.
Step 2: Think about the season
Another factor to consider when choosing a candle scent is the season. Different scents can evoke different feelings and memories associated with the season. Here are some examples:
Spring: Choose a floral scent such as peony or rose to bring a fresh and delicate touch to your home.
Summer: Choose a fruity scent such as watermelon or coconut to create a tropical and refreshing atmosphere.
Fall: Choose a spicy scent such as pumpkin or cinnamon to create a cozy and warm feeling.
Winter: Choose a woody scent such as cedar or pine to create a festive and wintery atmosphere.
Keep in mind, there are many scents that are year round, this guide is to help navigate your choices.
Step 3: Test and try
Once you've narrowed down your choices based on the room and season, it's time to test and try different scents. Here are some tips:
Visit a store: Visit a store that specializes in candles and test different scents by smelling the candles. Take note of the scents you like and don't like.
