Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt right at home because of the way it smelled? Well, that’s the magic of a well-chosen scent. A well-chosen scent can brighten your mood, evoke memories and make your home feel like a sanctuary. Whether it is the warm glow of a handmade soy candle or the subtle fragrance of a soy wax melt, the scent of your home has the power to transform your space.

 

The question is: are you using the right fragrance in every room? This guide will show how pairing the right handmade soy candle and wax melt scents from Scents of Home with each room further develops harmony throughout your home.


Why Scents Matter


Smell is our most powerful sense, as it's tied to both memory and emotion-in fact, studies show that 75% of our emotions are brought about by scent, and a sweet-smelling environment elevates mood, productivity, and even sleep. Setting the tone in every room, the right fragrance actually makes your home feel more hospitable and personal.

 

Living Room: A Warm Welcome


The living room serves as the heartbeat of your home-a haven in which one relaxes, entertains guests, and has quality time. Choose scents that are warm, inviting, and versatile.

Why Soy Candles and Wax Melts?


  • Eco-Friendly: Soy candles are produced from natural soy wax, which makes them biodegradable and sustainable.

  • Clean Burn: Unlike paraffin candles, soy candles burn cleaner, giving off less soot.

  • Longer Lasting: Soy wax melts and candles last longer to give you more value for your money.

  • Enhanced Fragrance Throw: Soy wax lets fragrance off slowly to ensure a steady, nice fragrance.

 

FAQ: Your Home Fragrance Questions Answered


Q: How long do soy candles and wax melts last?


A: A soy candle will, on average, burn 30-50% longer than paraffin, and the standard soy wax cube burns between 6-8 hours.

 

Q: How do I get the maximum scent throw from your soy candles?


A: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use and let the wax melt evenly across the surface when you are ready to put it out.
