Things to consider when picking a Candle Scent

Choosing a candle scent can be a daunting task, especially when there are so many options to choose from here at Fair Winds Candle. With scents ranging from fruity and floral to spicy and woody, it can be overwhelming to decide which candle scent is best for you without smelling them all first. In this blog post, we'll explore some things to consider when picking a candle scent.

Purpose: Think about the purpose of the candle. Is it for relaxation and stress relief(try our Lights Out candle), or to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home? Different scents have different effects on mood and emotion, so consider what you want to achieve with your candle.

Season: Consider the time of year when selecting a candle scent. Light, fresh scents such as citrus or floral are ideal for spring and summer, while warm, cozy scents like cinnamon and vanilla are perfect for fall and winter. Try our Thankful candle, it's the perfect way to usher in the cool fall weather.

Personal preference: Ultimately, the candle scent you choose should be one that you enjoy and that reflects your personal taste. Think about the scents that you are naturally drawn to and that bring you joy.

Room size: The size of the room where you plan to burn your candle can also affect the scent you choose. For smaller rooms, choose a lighter scent that won't overpower the space. For larger rooms, opt for a stronger scent that can fill the room. Our strongest scent, Cup of Joe, is sure to fill your largest room with its delicious aroma.

Candle quality: Consider the quality of the candle you're purchasing. Our high-quality candles are made with natural coconut wax, premium fragrance oils, and clean-burning wicks. Cheaper candles may contain synthetic fragrances and harmful chemicals that can cause health problems.

Health concerns: If you have allergies or sensitivities to certain scents, it's important to choose candles that are fragrance-free or made with natural, hypoallergenic ingredients.

In summary, when selecting a candle scent, consider the purpose of the candle, the season, your personal preferences, the size of the room, the quality of the candle, and any health concerns you may have. With these factors in mind, you're sure to find a candle scent that will bring joy and relaxation to your home.
