The things we love often reveal amazing truths regarding our personalities. Scented candles are no exception and the scents we choose can say a lot about us. When you want to send a gift hamper to a friend or loved one, it’s handy if you know a little bit about their personality. Here are some candle scents and how they reflect different personalities.
Rose
If you know somebody who has a strong romantic side, you can be sure that they will love the scent of roses. These flowers are associated with various degrees of love. When you send red roses, they are a declaration of your love. However, there is no need to worry about sending a romantic message when you send rose-scented candles. Rather than being a romantic gift, they are suitable for showing all types of affection, including friendship.
Lavender
Another popular scent when it comes to cosmetics which is why it has proven popular with candles too. Lavender is a lovely scent for encouraging relaxation. So, if you know somebody who leads a particularly busy or stressful life, you can rest assured that lavender will calm those nerves.
Lemon
This refreshing citrus scent is perfect for anyone who enjoys order and cleanliness. Lemon has a way of deodorizing a room very quickly and it gives the room a wonderful fresh smell. So, if somebody you know loves having a clean home, this is the invigorating scent for them!
Vanilla
Easily one of the most popular scents of all. Vanilla is a scent that will please just about everyone. The scent is sweet and satisfying almost like something delicious baking in the oven! It’s also very effective when eliminating unpleasant odours in the room. Vanilla scented candles are your safest bet if you don’t know all that much about the intended recipient.
Cedar
This scent is a real breath of fresh air and will take your senses on an outdoor journey. Perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. When hiking, biking, and similar activities are not possible, they can still enjoy that familiar smell when they light this candle.
Apple
If you know somebody who loves food, cooking, and all things culinary, then a delicious-smelling apple candle is the perfect gift. Apple is a scent that is easily recognised yet it will not completely overwhelm your senses.
Sandalwood
A musky scent, these candles are considered gender-neutral. So, if you want to spoil a truly masculine man, you can rest assured that a sandalwood candle will not come across as feminine. Great for brothers, uncles, husbands, and co-workers.
These are just some of the most popular scents. If you know that your friend or relative enjoys a specific smell, it’s always worth shopping for that particular scent as a way of showing that you pay attention to these little details.
