The most popular scented candle fragrances and their effects
Floral scented candles: peace and softness
Floral scents are classic and beloved for their soft and soothing properties. Think lavender, jasmine, chamomile, and rose. These aromas are known for their calming effect and are often used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and anxiety. By lighting a floral scented candle in your bedroom or living room, you create a serene environment that invites relaxation and regeneration.
Our Lavender-Chamomile scented candle is a perfect example of such a scent that helps you relax and leave the hustle and bustle of the day behind. This scent also works well during a self-care evening or meditation, as it calms the mind and helps you sleep better.

Spicy and woody scented candles: warmth & focus
Spicy and woody scents bring warmth and depth to your interior. Think of scents like ginger, petitgrain, cedarwood, sandalwood, and patchouli. These aromas evoke a sense of security and enhance your concentration. They're ideal for spaces where you want to boost focus and energy, such as your workspace or study.
Our Petitgrain - Ginger scented candle combines a spicy freshness with a warm undertone, making it the perfect choice for moments when you need to recharge and think clearly. These scents also often create a cozy and inviting feeling, making them perfect for a cozy evening in the living room.
Fresh scented candles: energy for your day
Fresh and fruity scents give your interior an energetic and vibrant atmosphere. Scents like citrus, green apple, bergamot, and vanilla bring cheerfulness and freshness to your living space. They're perfect for use in the kitchen, hallway, or anywhere you want to create an uplifting effect.
The Vanilla-Saffron scented candle is a beautiful example of a fragrance that combines warmth and sweetness with a fresh touch. This scent envelops your space like a soft, luxurious blanket, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere—perfect for an evening at home or a special occasion.
Fragrance advice: how to choose your ideal scented candle
Choosing the right scented candle is a personal journey. It starts with recognizing the atmosphere you want to create in your space and the desired effect. Ask yourself: do I want to relax? Do I want more energy? Or do I want to create a warm and inviting ambiance for myself and my guests?
It's also important to consider your personal fragrance preferences and the time of day you plan to use the candle. Floral scents, for example, are ideal for evening relaxation, while fresh citrus scents are energizing and give you a positive start to your day.
Our tip: Order a scented wax melt or tea lights first to experience different scents at home before purchasing a large candle. This will help you discover your personal scent profile and find the perfect match.
The design of the candle is also important. At Roeloffs Candles, we combine fragrance with style: our candles are poured into durable Jesmonite pots with a Japandi design, making them a beautiful home accessory even after burning.
