HOW TO CHOOSE A CANDLE ONLINE WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING SCENTED CANDLES ONLINE?

Ask yourself which fragrances you usually enjoy and what mood or environment you wish to create? Also, consider these fragrance families…

FLORAL SCENTS: Floral fragrances can be heavy or strong, like Tuberosa Tuberose, sweet floral such as Eset Rose Lily or Assyria Blossom.

WOODY SCENTS: Wooded fragrances consist of dense wood notes, like Sandalum Sandalwood (also in tea-lights), Phoenicia Cedar and Alteeneh Fig (also in Limited Edition).

CITRUS SCENTS / FRUITY SCENTS: Citrus fragrances are zesty with Bergamot, like Bella Bergamotta and fruity like Bacca Berry (also in Limited Edition).

FRESH SCENTS: Think of crisp tones, almost Spring-like scents, like aromatic Aphrodite Cypress which is fresh with a subtle woody musk.

GREEN SCENTS: A distinctive natural scent with herby aromas. Ingredients may include bay leaf, like Imperium Laurel (also in tealights) or featuring an invigorating woody combination like Alteeneh Fig.

SPICY SCENTS / AMBER SCENTS: Also known as oriental fragrances, these consist of soft amber like Romana Amber, or spicy cinnamon like Navitatum and smooth Sandalum Sandalwood.

WHAT ARE FRAGRANCE NOTES?

TOP NOTES: Often light and radiant, the initial scent which is perceived immediately.

HEART NOTES: The core of the fragrance detectable after the top notes have developed.

BASE NOTES: The foundation of the fragrance, depth and richness that lingers longer in the air and is last to develop. This is where the bolder notes come into play.

SHOP CANDLES BY MOOD

Scent memories can be very powerful triggers and even transport you back to childhood moments. Certain ingredients and aromas also enhance your wellbeing, whether you’re feeling anxious, in need of relaxation or a burst of energy.

CALMING SCENTS: Aromas containing extracts of orange blossom, amber and fig are great for offering a comforting, calming and relaxing environment – ideal for unwinding from a long day.

RELAXING SCENTS: Fragrances containing extracts of amber, bergamot, rose lily and orange blossom are great for soothing, relaxing and restorative environments, creating a feeling of well-being.

INVIGORATING SCENTS: Scents containing extracts of orange, berries, bergamot, cypress, and laurel are ideal for uplifting your mood – perfect aids to enhance concentration, or a boost of energy in the morning.

ROMANTIC SCENTS: Aromas containing extracts of tuberose, rose, amber, fig and sandalwood are particularly ideal choice for creating a romantic ambience.

SHOP CANDLES BY SEASON Seasonal Scents

You can update your home based on the season…

SPRING SCENTS: Enjoy a Spring refresh with fresh and green tones, such as cypress and laurel.

SUMMER SCENTS: In the Summer months, you can keep fresh notes and introduce orange blossom, adding light floral tones for a brighter atmosphere.

AUTUMN SCENTS: Autumn is a time for fruity fragrances, such as the deep scent of fig and warming amber aromas.

WINTER SCENTS: Winter is the perfect time for enjoying spicy scents, bringing cinnamon and sandalwood into the home. Heavy floral scents also add warmth and homeliness.

SHOP HOME FRAGRANCE BY LOCATION

The room you’re looking to fragrance can play a part in your selection.

A smaller room that requires a cleaner scent for odours (bathroom, kitchen, etc) might benefit from a slow-burning fresh scent that isn’t overpowering.

Larger rooms such as the living room, master bedroom or any space with tall ceilings may be suited to a bolder scent.

HALLWAY / RECEPTION AREA SCENTS: If you place a strongly-scented diffuser in the hallway, it will send fragrance throughout your home.

BATHROOM SCENTS: Bathrooms benefit from diffuser aromas with clean and fresh tones.

BEDROOM SCENTS: Light floral diffuser fragrances are perfect for the bedroom.

KITCHEN SCENTS: Green and woody scents that don’t conflict with your cooking.

LIVING ROOM SCENTS: Using a woody diffuser aroma or candle scent in sandalwood or amber for a living room has a warm and cosy sense.

DINING ROOM SCENTS: A very strong fragrance in a room where you spend a lot of time or in a dining room may not be ideal, so we recommend a more subtle diffusion like Romana Amber (also an ideal candle for scent pairing).
