Scent is a powerful tool that can create an atmosphere like no other. It has the ability to evoke emotions, trigger memories, and enhance our overall well-being. When it comes to creating ambiance in our homes, scent plays a crucial role. Just as the right lighting and decor can set the mood, the right wax candle scents can transport us to a different time and place. Whether we want to unwind after a long day, create a romantic setting, or simply add a touch of luxury to our living space, the right fragrance can make all the difference.

When choosing wax candle scents, it's important to consider the overall ambiance you want to create. Do you want a fresh and invigorating atmosphere, or a warm and cozy one? Are you looking for something subtle and delicate, or bold and captivating? By understanding the impact of scent on our emotions and surroundings, we can curate the perfect ambiance for any occasion.

Understanding Fragrance Families and Notes

Within each fragrance family, there are different notes that create a layered and complex scent profile. These notes can be categorized as top, middle, and base notes. Top notes are the initial scents that you smell when you first light the candle, while middle notes emerge after a few minutes and provide the main body of the fragrance. Base notes are the lingering scents that remain after the candle has burned for some time.

By understanding fragrance families and notes, you can better navigate the world of wax candle scents and select the ones that align with your personal preferences and the ambiance you want to create.

As the winter frost begins to thaw and the first signs of spring emerge, it's time to bring the refreshing scents of the season into your home. Spring scents are characterised by light, floral notes that mimic the blooming flowers and fresh air of the season. These scents can instantly uplift your mood and create a sense of renewal and vitality.

Some popular spring wax candle scents include:

Somerset Bluebells,

Bright and floral, our Somerset Bluebells candles and wax melts are the perfect fragrance to welcome spring. Filled with florals from bluebells to sweet rose and jasmine, this fragrance embodies the rejuvenating spirit of the season. Cheerful, bright bluebells are said symbolise gratitude and everlasting love.

Legend has it if you manage to turn one inside-out without breaking it, you'll win the heart of the one you love. While bluebell folklore may or may not work, fill your home with this floral fragrance instead and you'll definitely find yourself falling in love. 

Sweet Pea,

• Sweet peas cannot produce true yellow flowers.

This is because the gene for yellow flowers is recessive, and two recessive genes are needed to produce a yellow flower. However, sweet peas only have one copy of the yellow gene, so they can only produce white, pink, purple, or blue flowers.

There have been some attempts to breed true yellow sweet peas, but they have all been unsuccessful. So, if you see a yellow sweet pea, it is likely that it has been dyed or painted.

Here are some other strange facts about sweet peas:

Sweet peas are not actually peas. They are members of the legume family, but they are not edible.

Sweet peas are native to the Mediterranean region. They were introduced to England in the 17th century, and they quickly became popular as ornamental flowers.

Sweet peas are fragrant flowers. The fragrance of sweet peas is said to be a blend of violets, roses, and lilies.

Sweet peas are climbing plants. They need to be supported by a trellis or other structure in order to grow.

Sweet peas are annual plants. They die after one growing season.

Spring scents are all about embracing the lightness and freshness of the season. They bring a sense of renewal and rejuvenation into your home, making them perfect for creating a welcoming atmosphere in the springtime.

Summer is the season of sunshine, warm breezes, and outdoor adventures. When it comes to choosing wax candle scents for the summer, opt for fragrances that are fresh, citrusy, and invigorating.
