Fragranced Candles: Choosing a Scent for Your Home
Share
The most useful starting point for a fragranced candle is the person and the room. Someone who likes a subtle scent may not enjoy the same candle as someone who prefers a strong seasonal fragrance.

Choose a scent they will welcome
If the candle is a gift, find out whether the recipient enjoys scented products. Do not promise that a scent will improve sleep, clear the air or treat stress; choose it for enjoyment.
Check the listing before ordering
Confirm the quantity supplied, candle dimensions, fragrance and whether a holder is included. A photograph may show a styled arrangement containing several items. Use the written product details to understand exactly what you are buying.
Use candles safely
Keep a burning candle attended, in a stable suitable holder and clear of anything that could catch fire. Follow its instructions and extinguish it before leaving the room. Keep children and pets away from the flame and hot wax.
Make it a considered gift
Ask whether fragrance is welcome, and choose a size that fits the recipient’s space. Include any instructions with the gift. For venues and shared spaces, check the rules on open flames before planning a display.
