Scented Candle
In today’s times, scented candles are being used by many people. Scented candles not only smell good but they are found to be relaxing and stimulating. Traditionally, candles were being used for various purpose such as : 1) Emergency source of light during electrical failure. 2) used at religious occasions, including lighting an alter. 3) They are also being used as decorative articles in order to beautify homes.
However, in today’s times, candles go beyond their original purpose of just being a source of light. These days, people use scented candles which are found to be relaxing and pretty. Scented candles are also given in the form of gifts to our loved ones. However, before you give a highly scented candle as gift, ensure whether the person who is about to receive the gift is sensitive to scents. However, some scents such as vanilla and Lavender are mild in nature and it does not make any difference with the oil content that is used for making highly scented candle.
Since the olden days, the candles used were made of tallow or wax, with a wick. However, the wax of such candles, constantly keep dripping and leave wax stains on the floor. Also, traditional candles are made out of petroleum – based products. They are not good for the health, as they release harmful soot and the entire nearby environment gets polluted. It is unhealthy and dangerous to inhale the black substance that comes out from the flame. Scented candles are not only good for homes but also environment friendly. For example : scented candles, made from soy beans are known to burn 20 to 30% longer than the usual candles. It is a known fact that soy candles burn without emitting any ozone.
It is a known fact that scented candles are found to be popular enough among many people. There are various types of scented candles that are available in the market. They are as follows :
1) There are scented candles of chamomile, lavender or sandalwood scented candle. This type of scented candle produces a calming effect and thus helps in reducing our daily stress.

6) Many scented candles comes in floral smells too. There are other types of scented candles which are based on vanilla peppermint, orange, grapefruit and rose candle too.
Many people like scented candles of lavender and vanilla type. They are found to be addictive for their smell. Imagine a person arrives at home, after a hard day work and get a pleasant scent at home. There are people who don’t like scents that are too fruity or anything licorice. However, there are people who like scented candles which contain fruit scent that is subtle and not too strong. In my opinion scented candles are found to be source of relaxation and you get to enjoy the smell till it melts down to the last drop of wax.
