Candles have always been known for their ability to create a cozy and inviting ambiance. However, they can also tell a story, transport your senses to another place and time and evoke emotions that you may not even be aware of. The fragrances used in candles are carefully curated to provide an emotional or sensory response. Here's how fragrances and scented candles can take you on a journey and leave a lasting memory.
1. Travel back in time
Certain fragrances like tobacco and leather, as found in New York Speakeasy, can transport your senses to an old fashioned study or jazz bar, while floral notes like jasmine and roses, both of which are infused into Scents of Zanzibar and Magic of Istanbul, call to mind memories of luxurious hotel lobbies. Patchouli can take you straight back to the seventies, while the smell of wood fires may remind you of past camping trips.
2. Enhance your mood
Certain fragrances are known for their calming properties, while others invigorate and energise. Aromas like lavender and vanilla can aid in stress relief, whilst refreshing citrusy scented candles such as A Capri Romance can have an uplifting impact.
3. Create ambiance for a particular occasion
Scented candles can set the ambiance for a special event or occasion. Candles with pumpkin or spiced fragrances can bring life to Autumn themed concepts, while botanical refreshments allow for a sensual and intimate atmosphere.
4. Create a multi sensory experience
Hanging on to our experiences through senses like touch, sight and smell is well studied. People remember experiences when these senses are stimulated. Scented candles enrich your sensory experience of any event and leave a lasting impression. Aromas highlight emotions and keep the memory that of a particular moment recalled for years to come.
Candles can make more memories than material things or discarnate events, candles awaken us to reclaim what we love and desire in life. The link between scents and memories is profound, with candles going beyond only decorating your house. Explore the scented journey and appreciate every moment, one scented candle at a time.
