Our sense of smell is magical. One sniff of a chocolate chip cookie can transport us back to our childhood, eagerly waiting in Grandma’s kitchen for a batch to bake. A whiff of a fresh flower bouquet might call up memories of past romantic gestures. Breathing in the scent of a backyard barbecue might make us think of happy summer days spent with family.
Whatever scent sets your mind wandering, candles are a quick and easy way to create a cozy and joyful atmosphere at home. Forget the chemically scented versions from the supermarket or drugstore. These natural home candles let you light up the light without worrying about the effects of artificial fragrances or ingredients.
