Need something to soothe your tired bones after a long hard day? Are you feeling fearful or stressed about something and just need to relax? Or how about spicing up that romantic dinner you planned by filling the air with the aroma of jasmine or rose. You can make scented candles a vital part of any mood setting requirement you may have.
An extra dimension is offered by scented candles, which are now immensely popular. They can create a romantic or festive atmosphere; they can also soothe and relax us or lift our spirits, depending on which essential oils are used. Lavender oil will induce sleep and help you to unwind, while bergamot or rosemary will revive you. Compliment the scent of the candle with a delicate candle collar of lavender or rosemary, to make an attractive decoration or gift. Burning a scented candle while you relax in the bath is wonderfully self-indulgent and your own form of aromatherapy.
Oil lamps are an original alternative to candles, and you can colour and perfume the oil to suit your mood or the occasion. Another variation is to place your chosen essential fragrance, diluted in water, over a candlelit ceramic burner or vaporizer, which will gently warm the oil and release the fragrance. Scented potpourri can be used in the same way and many different kinds are now available, including citrus scents. During Christmas, rich, spicy scents are popular, and you can add extra spice oils to a candle decorated with sticks of cinnamon or studded with cloves. Sprinkle a few drops of oil on the candle before it is lit, being careful not to let the oil fall on any ribbon or fabric in the display. A vaporizer will create an immediate spicy, festive atmosphere if you use it to warm a mixture of succulent orange and cinnamon smelling oils.
My particular favorite that I do often during the winter is using the spicy scent of cloves to press into the honeycomb sections of a beeswax candle in an attractive spiral pattern. I then use more cloves and rings of star anise to cover the base. The aroma that fills my house with these candles is so warm and wonderful and it reminds me a lot of my grandmother's house at Christmas when I was a child.
If you're looking to inspire romance while burning your scented candles, trying using jasmine, rose, sandalwood or yling ylang essential oils as this are useful as aphrodisiacs and so perfect for candles for your bedroom. Lemon oil and grapefruit can be used to reduce stress and uplift. Orange is particularly useful in relaxation and calming while bergamot is used in numerous cases including depression, fear, fatigue and loneliness.
As you can see essential oils are hugely beneficial when you make scented candles because you can predetermine the mood you're going to set with them before you even begin the process of candle making.
