Best Scent Combination When Making Your Own Candle

You’ve decided to hop on the “create your own candle” trend, and you are stuck trying to find the perfect scent combo, now what? Always ask the candle-bartender their recommendations for scents because they spend hours in the studio so they usually have great recommendations. If you want to go into the studio looking like a pro candle maker, keep reading for some awesome scent combinations. 

Lavender and Rosemary

The first scent combo recommendation is lavender and rosemary. Both of these scents are known for encouraging calmness, reducing anxiety, and diminishing nervous tension. The holiday season is especially stressful, so this combination is perfect for creating a relaxing vibe in your space. It is also a light, airy scent that will not be overbearing. 

Peppermint and Eucalyptus 

If you are looking for a scent combination to induce relaxation and create a calming aroma, peppermint and eucalyptus are perfect! Both of these scents can help relax your mind. This is perfect for a home office or a relaxing bath. The peppermint oil also makes this a good candle combo for the holiday season!

Vanilla and Apple

Who doesn’t love apple pie? Mixing the scents of vanilla and apple will create a scent similar to the glorious smell of fresh apple pie. This is the perfect scent combination for lighting in your living room while you are preparing a holiday dinner because it will excite your guests for the delicious food being prepared.

Sandalwood and Rose

The sweet smells of sandalwood and rose create a relaxing aroma that is soft and floral. For some people, a strong scent like vanilla can cause headaches but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a good-smelling candle. If you are one of these people, try sandalwood and rose because both of these scents are light and soft so they will not overwhelm your senses and not induce headaches. 

The first thing to take into consideration when creating a good candle scent combination is how powerful or weak you want your candle to be and ask your candle-bartender to recommend scents that are strong or scents that are weak to fit your style. If you are someone who is easily overwhelmed with strong scents then the vanilla-apple scents are not for you, but if you had Covid-19 and your smell isn’t back to 100% then this would be perfect because it is strong enabling you to actually be able to smell it! Take into consideration what intensity you want from your candle to create the perfect scent for you.
