According to Hindu Prince Guatama Siddharta, founder of Buddhism, "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Wise words from a very wise man! Smell is one of the most powerful senses, and the human response to a pleasing fragrance is positive and immediate. Not only are candles beautiful to look at, they create an atmosphere of romance, mystery, comfort and warmth. And today, fragrance-enhanced candles are the top choice by consumers when it comes to scenting the home. Popular scents include food-based aromas like cinnamon, apple, coffee, lemongrass, herbs and pumpkin, as well as fruit-scented products like mandarin, mango, coconut, peach and berry. Spa candles designed to relax your body feature scents like ylang ylang, eucalyptus, musk, mint and green tea, while soft floral scents like lavender, rose, jasmine and gardenia are also popular. Some candles are designed for aromatherapy and feature essential oils extracted from plants, creating a special atmosphere for your home and a rejuvenated soul for those inside, as the candle’s aromatic fragrance creates pleasing psychological effects.
