Scented candles can enhance the ambiance of a room, provide relaxation, and improve mood. They can also help mask unpleasant odors and create a pleasant atmosphere for various occasions.

While scented candles can add a pleasant aroma to the air, it’s important to choose candles made from natural ingredients and avoid those with synthetic fragrances or harmful additives. High-quality, natural candles generally have minimal impact on air quality.

For best results, it’s recommended to burn a scented candle for 2-4 hours at a time. This allows the wax to melt evenly across the surface, which prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.

Yes, always place candles on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use to prevent excessive smoke and soot.

Consider the purpose of the room and the mood you want to create. For relaxation, try lavender or chamomile. For energizing spaces like kitchens or offices, citrus or peppermint scents work well. Choose fragrances that complement the atmosphere you wish to establish.
