A good scent has the power to lighten up your mood. And the best way to create a feel-good moment is by burning a candle. Here’s how candles can affect your mood: Bliss: Tangerine and vanilla are great fragrances to promote a happy, relaxed, and calm state of mind. Concentration: Do you have a big project to complete? Burn a cinnamon candle to promote creative thinking or choose eucalyptus-scented products to enhance mental focus. Energy boost: Next time you’re feeling tired, look for candles with pine, clove, peppermint, lemon, or patchouli scents to fight fatigue. Peace: Burn a candle that combines violet leaf and lemongrass during your yoga session to promote feelings of peace and tranquillity. Romance: Set the mood for a hot date by choosing candles with patchouli, orange, or Ylang Ylang scents. Courage: Need a boost to face your crush? Try a clovescented candle. Sound sleep: If you’re having trouble sleeping, those who study the link between candle scents and moods recommend burning chamomile, lavender, sandalwood or neroli-scented candles before bedtime. (For safety reasons, however, you need to remember to put out the candle before you fall asleep.) Stress relief: If you’re stressed, go for candles with rose, lemon, orange, lavender, sandalwood, vanilla, or honeysuckle. Frankincense, clary sage, chamomile, and sandalwood also work in helping to alleviate mild symptoms of depression. As a candle lover, you should always have scented candles for different occasions, and these are the must-haves on your collection.
