Scented Candles for every Season   by Graeme Ferguson

Scented Candles

After a busy day, sit back, relax, and unwind with the aroma of a scented candle wafting through your living room offering infinite hours of pleasure, as they flicker in the darkness. Over the past decade the candle industry has continued to expand rapidly and now these fragranced treats can be found in hardware stores, health food shops and even on the supermarket shelves.

However, harmonising the current economic downfall, consumers have become much more price sensitive, and as a result, candle sales have declined over the past few years. In order to retain a competitive edge, candle makers are looking into new ways of attracting and retaining their consumers. In response to this, leading candle retailer Yankee Candle, continue to expand their candle ranges, offering consumers more choice than ever before. The result is that consumers can easily find a scented candle in the marketplace to reflect any occasion, mood and season throughout the year.

Scents of Spring

Step into spring with classic French vanilla candles that combine sandalwood and floral notes for a smooth, rich scent. Or, during this allergy inducing season that impends the annual “Spring Clean” upon us, fresh linen and towel scents can fill your home with at least the deception of this. If it all gets too much and you dream of escape, smooth lavender fragrances will bring you right back to a country meadow or you can take a gentle stroll along the river with candles that offer hints of sage, amber and oak, all in the comfort of your own home. To satisfy cravings, candles offering creamy caramel hints, cupcake and sweet almond flavours, provide a guilty free pleasure in the run up to the Easter period.

Summer Scents

Add a Splash of Summer to your home with a wide variety of scented candles, which boast tropical blends of grapefruit and mango with sunny notes, to provide cool summer refreshment. If the UK weather doesn’t hold up for you do not be defeated, there are candles available that reminisce long sandy beaches, the summer breeze and exotic flowers. A mix of these summer fruits, spicy herbs and floral tones will transform your home into a private paradise. In the midst of the dreaded summer holidays aromatherapy scented candles provide a welcome distraction to help you de-stress after a busy day of preparing picnics, refereeing arguments and mending skinned knees.

Autumn Aromas

Welcome autumn’s arrival with a masculine assortment of warm spice, musk and mahogany cologne that will cast a captivating spell, ideal for the holiday period. The warm tones of cinnamon, pear, and apple will fill your home with reminders of childhood comforts that will provide welcomed security from the cold outside. If that doesn’t work then scented candles infused with candy corn and sweet aromas will certainly bring you back! Alternatively you could stay in with a loved one accompanied by the enticing aromas of ripe black cherries or rose scented candles for a more romantic setting.

Winter Scents

Create your own Winter Wonderland at the flick of a match with candles that fill your home with spicy aromas, guaranteed to warms your senses even on the coldest of winter nights. Deliciously generous infuses of spiced orange and red berry is ideal after festive parties to neutralise any unwanted smells, and nutmeg and pine notes will welcome guests. Additionally candles make a wonderful gift for loved ones, particularly during the festive season, and with scents that mimic traditional Christmas treats you can indulge yourself in a little luxury that will last the whole holiday period.

Scents for Every Season!

Presently more and more fragrances are being added to the candle market, equalling a wealth of choice for consumers. With leading candle makers becoming increasingly bolder with their inventions of fragrances there really is a scented candle for every season!
