What Candle Scent Is Best For Mother's Day?
5 May 2023
Mother's Day is approaching and I have been asked numerous times which candle scent is best for Mother's Day for those looking to get something different instead of flowers for mother's day
floral scents
Does your Mum tend to go for floral scents? Do you tend to find your Mum loves fresh-cut flowers which have a sweeter smell such as Roses or Hyacinth? Is your Mum a lover of sweet deserts as a person who finds the smell of sweets and cake inviting this may help in choosing the right scent.
Think about the perfume that she loves, If it's light and floral like Miss Dior then a floral candle would suit her best.
Floral Candles
First is our handmade English red rose candle which is reminiscent of a bouquet of Red Roses. The candle has a sophisticated and elegant scent.
Second is our handmade Sweet Pea Scented candle. This is a soft and sweet floral accord with notes of sweet pea, rose, and hyacinth. This is also available as a reed diffuser and is perfect for those that love floral scents.
Fruity Scents
If I use my own daughter as an example as her go-to is fruity fragrances. She absolutely loves fruity scents and loves any of the Strawberry Body Shop shower gels or sprays. Any scent which has berries is a winner with her. I would therefore choose fruity candles as a gift for her. If your Mum sounds similar to my daughter then picking a fruity candle will be perfect for her.
Fruity Candles
I would recommend our very Juicy Black Plum and Rhubarb. This has a top note of Rhubarb and is absolutely loved by those that tend to veer toward fruity scents.
If however, you find your Mum likes more fruity citrusy scents I'd recommend the Lemongrass and Ginger Scented Candle. This is our spa-in-a-jar candle.Woody Scents
If your Mum doesn't like floral scents or fruity there is a good chance that she may veer towards woody scents.
Woody scents can be masculine scents that are earthy. These can be more in-depth with an opulent rich aroma. Most aftershaves will have a woody tone which most women find very alluring.
Our dark honey and tobacco candle might be just the ticket. Don't be put off by the word tobacco. In fact, most top perfumeries will use tobacco leaf in their products due to the warm and woody aromas. You can read more about the scent of the tobacco leaf here.
