Candles and wax melts are a great way to add ambiance and a touch of luxury to your home. But with so many different scents and types of candles and wax melts available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. That's why we've put together this guide on how to choose the right candle or wax melt for your mood.

What to Consider

When choosing a candle or wax melt, there are a few things you'll want to consider:

  • The scent: The scent of a candle or wax melt can have a big impact on your mood. If you're looking to relax, you might want to choose a scent like lavender or chamomile. If you're looking to boost your energy, you might want to choose a scent like peppermint or grapefruit.
  • The time of day: The time of day can also affect the type of scent you'll want to choose. For example, you might want to choose a lighter, more refreshing scent during the day, and a heavier, more relaxing scent at night.
  • The occasion: If you're using a candle or wax melt for a special occasion, you'll want to choose a scent that reflects the occasion. For example, you might want to choose a festive scent like cinnamon or nutmeg for the holidays, or a romantic scent like rose or vanilla for a date night.
