A majority of scented candles use a combination of both synthetic and natural fragrances like lavender, lemon, driftwood, etc. In candle making, scents should be appealing to customers. Both the manufacturers and consumers of scented candles are driven by a subliminal reality. This reality is constantly at the forefront in both manufacturing and sales. A fragrance is the sudden recall of a memory that has long since passed away. The scent’s essence is what makes us feel the need to keep that scent close.
What Fragrances Are Most Popular With Candle Manufacturers?
- Citron Blossom Cassis
This floral, feminine, and sensual fragrance is more male-oriented. The sexy fragrance wafting from strategically placed candles might make it difficult for guests to leave the hotel rooms, at cosy restaurants or ski lodges catering to winter sports.
- Beachwood Vetiver & Sea Spray Driftwood
A whiff will have you at the beach, your toes digging into the warm sand. The sweet and exotic aroma of coconut oil combined with salty sea air and sun-dried seawood creates a pleasant incentive for sales in salons, day spas, beauty parlours, massage parlours, beauty shops, and other retail outlets. It can also be used to induce sales in small cafes or restaurants on the beach, as well as in waiting rooms at travel agencies, doctors’ offices, and yoga studios. It is sure to bring you peace, warmth, and serenity.
- Huckleberry Sugar Blossom
This strong, predominantly feminine fragrance evokes feelings that are familiar to most women: warmth, comfort, and the promise of warm huckleberry pie. This scent is a blend of citrus, floral, brown sugar, fresh spices, caramel, and a touch of fresh ginger. Manufacturers may target specialty kitchen supply stores, small bakery/cafes, and realtors to draw clients to vacant kitchens.
- Amber And Vanilla Blossom
Vanilla is a sweet and sensual fragrance. It is an essential ingredient in many delicious desserts, making it a natural association with food. The combination of rich, slightly sweet amber and warm holiday memories is powerful. For marketers and manufacturers, this fragrance can be used for private or corporate holiday parties.
- Red Currant Persimmon
The aroma of this herbal blend is spicy, sweet, tart and slightly bitter. It is balanced with floral notes of roses, jasmine, geranium, and other herbs that evoke feelings of relaxation and sensuality. This candle scent can be used in salons, spas, stores selling bath products, and even lobby offices of government offices such as the IRS.
- Water Lily And Hyacinth
Victorians treasured the sweet and persistent scent of hyacinth. This fragrance gracefully blends with the fresh, slightly sweet, and very lemony fragrance of water lily. The scent is fruity, with a hint of vanilla and can be found in specialty or gift shops, which sell all types of water-related items.
