One of the best ways to set the right mood for your bath is to have some candlelight in the bathroom. However, to accomplish that, you may want to know a little more about the options available to you.
Candles come in such a wide variety of scents and sizes that purchasing some can be challenging. Here is a list of the most popular candle scents and why you should consider them for your next bath:
Lavender
This is one of the most versatile floral scents out there. It is light and fresh without being overwhelming.
In fact, lavender has been proven to be calming and beneficial to those experiencing emotional imbalance. It can even work well with other scents such as vanilla, lemon, and other floral scents.
Lemon
Lemon is typically paired with other scents rather than used on its own. The best thing about a lemon-scented candle is its ability to easily cut through unpleasant smells that are hard to get rid of.
Even if lemon isn't your favorite scent, it is handy to have candles with it when you need to quickly freshen up a room. This is also why lemon is commonly found in cleaning products.
Sandalwood
This has always been a popular ingredient in perfumes and incense, so it's no wonder it eventually made its way into candles as well. Sandalwood has a slightly musky odor and can often be paired with scents like patchouli or jasmine.
Apple
This scent is strong enough to fill a room without being overpowering. Though it isn't too hard to find an apple on its own, it is usually paired with cinnamon.
The combination of those two makes for a delicious smell that will bring back childhood memories such as baking with your grandmother.
Rose
Roses are a symbol of love and affection, which makes candles with their scent perfect for an intimate night. The aroma of rose-scented candles can vary depending on the type of rose used, although most are pretty mild.
For example, the English Rose tends to have a lighter scent than the Country Rose. Though this scent goes great with other floral scents, it is rarely combined with them.
Vanilla
The most common candle scent is probably vanilla, and for good reason. Vanilla can be paired with just about any other aroma. What's more, it reminds us of yummy treats like cake and ice cream.
