Picture this: It’s you curled up in your favorite chair, your favorite blanket around you, a steaming cup of tea in hand. What’s missing from this scene? A perfect scent to complete the cozy vibes full circle. But scented candles with essential oil scents can put any mundane room into a cozy, welcoming haven. Nowadays with so many of these candles available, how do you know which scented candles are the best scented candles to create that ultimate cozy atmosphere?
I have tried loads of fragrances as a lover of all things homey. Some candles make me want to drift into a peaceful nap, some candles just make me happy and some candles make me happy. A fun and educational guide to HBNO’s fabulous range of best-scented candles for a cozy, wellness-enhancing home.
Why Essential Oil-Scented Candles Are So Special
And for starters, why fancy essential oil-scented candles when you can just smell the synthetic kind? Natural plant sources are the source of essential oils that give you a more authentic, therapeutic experience. Of course, they don’t just smell nice, the scent affects your mood and emotions. Lavender has real science behind its calming effect, as do bursts of citrus and so much more.
Lighting a candle is about more than creating ambiance—it’s about elevating both the ambiance and why you are elevating the ambiance. Scents, studies have shown, trigger the brain’s limbic system — the region involved in emotions and memory. For instance, I’m not surprised that certain fragrances can take you back to your happy place! Essential oils also have aromatherapeutic benefits that can’t be duplicated by synthetic fragrances. Using HBNO’s essential oil candles gives you a two-in-one experience: a smell that’s so beautiful and holistic wellness.
Best Scented Candles for Cozy Vibes
Cedarwood Essential Oil: Earthy and Grounding
Cedarwood is nothing but a smell of a cozy cabin getaway. It’s especially good for calming and supporting the mind. HBNO fills the room with rustic, welcoming warmth by lighting a cedarwood candle from HBNO.
Personal Tip: When I’m doing some light evening yoga, I love to use HBNO’s Cedarwood essential oil candle. The scent is zen-like and deeply calming. This is my secret weapon for calming my overworked body and mind and reconnecting with my inner peace.
Sweet Orange Essential Oil: Uplifting and Fresh
Need a boost? However, if you don’t own a diffuser, the sweet, cheery aroma of sweet orange essential oil can do wonders for your mood. It’s like the perfect pick-me-up, especially on gray winter days. Lighting an HBNO Sweet Orange Essential Oil candle feels a bit like putting a ray of sunshine into your home.
Where to Use: If you have space, keep one in your kitchen so it stays fresh and lively. Citrus can burst, making the mundanious seem extraordinary. Sometimes I light this candle when I’m meal prepping and it makes even chopping veggies seem like an exciting time.
Ylang-Ylang Essential Oil: Floral and Romantic
Ylang-ylang has a sweet, floral fragrance that is romantic and rich. It’s like a dream, soothing, and it’s perfect for that elegance to your space. The HBNO Ylang Ylang Essential Oil candle can be used to put you in the mood for a relaxing evening or weather conducive to a quiet, self-care ritual.
Pro Tip: Put a bowl of this light in your bedroom before you tuck in for the night. The floral notes will rock you into a state of blissful relaxation. And at home, it’s excellent for an at-home spa day—think fluffy robes, soothing music, and this divine scent.
Lavender Essential Oil: Classic and Calming
Lavender would of course be part of any cozy candle list. HBNO’s Lavender Essential Oil candle is known to its users for being stress relieving and sleep-enhancing, which makes it a must-have for anyone who is looking to lounge and want to create a serene atmosphere.
Sleep Ritual: Now before bed, I swear on this candle. After a warm bath, I torch it on my nightstand while reading a few lines of some book. It’s kind of like hitting the pause button, life and I get to relax and get ready to go to bed at night.
Tips for Candle Placement and Ambiance.
It depends on where you put your candles! The right placement can maximize the scent and create the perfect ambiance:
- Living Room: To keep your coffee table feeling warm and inviting, keep a cedarwood or sandalwood candle on your coffee table. It will coil around you like a soft, immeasurable blanket, adding to what movie nights or chatter with friends are already slick.
- Bedroom: A lavender or ylang-ylang candle on your nightstand will help you unwind and drift off to a peaceful slumber.
- Pro tip: Soft fairy lights combine with candlelight giving you the ultimate relaxation.
- Bathroom: Light an HBNO Eucalyptus Essential Oil candle when you’re having a hot bath, and transform your bathroom into a spa.
- Melt away stress: it’s simple, it’s luxurious, and just a little noisy. But eucalyptus scent clears your mind and invigorates your senses, so every bath simply becomes just a little more magical.
Creating Rituals for a Cozy Home.
For the most part, the scent of an essential oil candle isn’t the right time or place to enjoy it – in fact, it’s meant to be an intentional ritual. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
- Morning Motivation: Light an energizing citrus candle in your kitchen as you have breakfast or your morning coffee to start your day. HBNO’s Sweet Orange Essential Oil candle has a zesty aroma that gets the rubber heels spinning into the productive headspace you need for the day ahead.
- Evening Wind-Down: Dim the lights after a long day, and light a calming candle, like lavender or sandalwood, then take five minutes to breathe deeply or meditate. Here’s a simple ritual that can take you from a busy day to an enjoyable night.
Don’t forget to pair your candles with other cozy elements. Elevating your experience even more, soft blankets, warm lighting, and a good book. Now and then I’ll pair a candle ritual with a cup (or bowl) of herbal tea to go around again.
