Candles have served many purposes in human history. These range from providing light to providing symbolism at religious services to providing joy and relaxation in our everyday lives. Scented candles are targeted at joy and relaxation and medicinal ends, particularly in the aromatherapy discipline.

Scented candles can provide us with respite after a day of long and hard work. In addition, they can also create a desired atmosphere in the home with their beautiful aromas.

To a large extent, scented candles have replaced the incense that was burned by previous generations.

The pleasant smells that they emit remind us of the beautiful aromas provided to us by nature. To this effect the smells of many scented candles mimic the aromas of nature.

It is a known fact that candles reduce unpleasant smells in a room. For example, tobacco smoke is successfully neutralized by a burning candle.

When we combine the traditional candle with some aromatic or essential oils we create a beautiful addition to any home. Unpleasant smells are eliminated and are replaced with lovely and pleasing aromas.

Scented candles are also very useful for creating a specific and desired atmosphere in your home. To fully round off a romantic evening with your loved one, just add a few scented candles with rose, peach, or lavender smells.

In addition to these uses, scented candles are also used for more practical means such as keeping mosquitoes away and protecting your rooms from unpleasant bugs from the outside.

Fortunately, due to the advantages of industrialization scented candles have become within the reach of the average person.

For former generations scented candles were a luxury available only to the rich and famous and the kings and queens of the world.

Nowadays everyone can enjoy the beautiful aromas and the positive effects on mood, feelings, and ambience provided to us by the general availability of scented candles.
