How to Choose the Right Candle or Diffuser Scent for You

A Step-by-Step Guide 

Choosing a scent for your candle or diffuser is not only a way to create coziness, but also an important moment in setting the right atmosphere in your home. Scents can influence your mood, relax, inspire, or energize you. Here are a few steps to help you select the perfect scent for any occasion.

   1. Determine the Purpose of the Scent
 Ask yourself: what do you want to feel when enjoying the fragrance? Based on that, you can choose the right type of scent:
 • For relaxation and comfort: choose soft, warm, and calming scents like lavender, vanilla, sandalwood, or cinnamon.
 • For energy and freshness: opt for fresh and invigorating notes such as citrus, mint, eucalyptus, or bergamot.
 • For a romantic atmosphere: floral or sweet fragrances are ideal — rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, or vanilla with caramel.
 • For work or concentration: choose neutral or woody scents, such as cedar, sandalwood, or white musk.

   2. Pay Attention to the Intensity of the Scent
Different spaces and situations call for different scent intensities:
 • For small rooms (bathroom, toilet, kitchen): choose light and subtle fragrances, such as citrus or green notes.
 • For larger spaces (living room, bedroom, office): you can use more complex and layered compositions, like woody or floral scents.
 • For cozy evenings: try fragrances with a warm, comforting finish, such as spices, vanilla, or tobacco.

   3. Consider Seasonality
Some fragrances work particularly well in certain seasons:
 • Summer: go for light and fresh scents — citrus, oceanic, or herbal notes.
 • Autumn: warm and spicy aromas are perfect, like cinnamon, clove, apple, or pumpkin.
 • Winter: create coziness with vanilla, pine, sandalwood, and spicy fragrances.
 • Spring: choose delicate and floral compositions — lily of the valley, rose, freesia.

   4. Experiment with Combinations
If you enjoy unique scents, try combining several candles or diffusers with different notes. It’s important to find a balance between freshness and depth, so as not to overwhelm the space.

   5. Test Scents Before Buying
If possible, test the scent in-store by smelling it to understand how it evolves. The fragrance of a candle or diffuser changes over time, so it’s important to choose one that will continue to delight you throughout the day or evening.

   6. Listen to Your Senses
Choosing a scent is a personal pleasure. Trust your feelings and intuition. After all, it’s you who will be spending time in a space filled with that scent.
