Choosing a Scent by Mood, Not by Season

Seasonal scents are a nice idea. Matching a scent to how you actually feel works better.

Fresh and citrus notes lift a heavy afternoon. Coconut and lime are the easy choice when the room feels stale and you need the day to start again.

Woody notes settle a busy head. Cedar and sandalwood are slower, drier, and they hold a room quiet for longer.

Florals sit somewhere in between. Jasmine and rose are gentle enough for a bedroom and warm enough for company.

Try one scent at a time. Two strong candles in one room cancel each other out.
