Scented candles have grown in popularity over the last decade, and it’s no wonder. The amazing scents and jars and décor that are part of the package make them a wonderful addition to anyone’s home or holiday table.
Scented candles have the ability to transport you to a specific time and place. When fall comes around and the leaves change colors, a beautiful pumpkin-scented candle just gets you ready for all of the wonderful holidays to come. Want to be transported to a lovely cottage on a beach on the Amalfi Coast? Light a candle with amazing essential oils and orange blossoms, and let the delightful aroma take you there.
Some scented candles we burn until they are gone, and others we just use for decoration. But whatever your motivation, here are some scented candles you need in your life!
