And what ensures you have a truly wonderful scented candle, for your home and for yourself?
Don't worry, I'll help you get started. Whether you're buying a scented candle for the first time or looking for the best one, my tips will help you find your next scented candle!
Buying a scented candle : a small choice with a big impact
Buying a scented candle might seem like a small thing, but its impact is significant. Scents influence your mood, your energy, and how you feel in a room. With the right fragrance, you can transform your living room into a place of peace and relaxation, give your morning routine a fresh boost, or create warmth and comfort in your bedroom.
But if you just buy a scented candle, you might find the scent disappoints, it burns poorly, or it's full of gunk you'd rather not inhale. That's why buying a scented candle wisely is so important.

What should you pay attention to when buying a scented candle?
1. The smell and how strong it is
Buying a scented candle? The first decision you'll make is, of course, which scent to choose. But did you know that scents can vary significantly from candle to candle?
Here's what you should pay attention to:
-
Fragrance notes : citrus for energy, lavender for relaxation, wood for grounding
-
Fragrance diffusion : does the candle smell subtle or does it fill the entire room?
-
Your own sensitivity : some people react strongly to certain fragrances
At Roeloffs Candles, all candles are designed with their impact on your well-being in mind. So if you're looking for a scented candle that not only smells wonderful but also truly benefits your mental well-being, you've come to the right place.
2. Quality of the ingredients
Buying a cheap scented candle can be tempting, but many mass-produced candles contain paraffin and metal wicks. Not exactly healthy.
When buying scented candles, pay attention to:
- 100% natural wax, such as rapeseed wax, soy wax or coconut wax
- Cotton or wooden wicks without lead
- High quality fragrances
My handmade scented candles are made from rapeseed wax with special fragrance oils formulated for scented candles.
3. Burning time and shape
When you buy a scented candle, you want to enjoy it for a long time. Cheaper candles often burn out faster or tunnel (only in the middle). That's a shame.
When buying scented candles, pay attention to:
- Burning hours (this is often stated with the product)
- The width of the pot relative to the wick
- Whether the candle burns neatly and evenly
With me you will find sustainable, long-burning candles in stylish jars that also fit perfectly with a Japandi interior.
How to choose the right scented candle for your moment
Want to buy the perfect scented candle to suit your moment of peace, focus, or coziness? These tips will help:
Choose based on your mood
Want to unwind after a long day? Choose a soothing scent like Inner Peace or Tiare - Vanilla. For a warm, cozy feeling, the pumpkin candle in the Orange - Cinnamon scent is wonderful. This makes buying a scented candle much more personal and effective.
Think about the space
A small bathroom requires a more subtle candle than your living room. If you're buying a scented candle for a large space, choose one with bold fragrance notes or a large diameter, as the scent comes from the melted wax.
Start with a bestseller
Still unsure about which scented candle to buy? Then start with one of my bestsellers ; they're beloved by customers who share the same need for peace, ambiance, and balance. And yes, you can also try scented tea lights first to find your favorite.
Also check out the style of the pot
Importantly, if you buy a scented candle, you also want it to look beautiful in your interior. My candles are poured into handmade jesmonite pots in a tranquil Japandi style. Minimalist, stylish, and always in harmony with your space.
Ready to buy a conscious scented candle?
Buying a scented candle is more than just adding ambiance to your home. It's a moment of self-care. A moment of creating tranquility, effortlessly. A moment to unwind after a busy day.
Give yourself that peace. Choose consciously. And enjoy every time you light your candle.
