Who can resist the allure of scented candles? These versatile gems have found their way into nearly every household in various shapes and sizes, becoming a staple accessory for many. Although they were already a popular decoration during the 1980s, it was in the 1990s that we witnessed a significant shift in interest in scented candles.

Over the decades, candles have served various purposes in our lives, and it’s safe to say that almost every household has at least one type of candle. Once, they were primarily used for illumination, offering an easy way to light up a room and move from one space to another.

However, in recent times, their role has transformed, and they have become more of a decorative element in our rooms, valued not just for their light but also for the ambience they create.

Tea lights

Tea light candles held a special place during Christmas, frequently positioned as table centrepieces. These small candles were typically unscented and were central to holiday decor. The trend for exquisite tea light holders emerged, and it seemed like every store offered a diverse selection.

Scented candles also rose in popularity, coming in various shapes and sizes. The creativity extended to their colours and designs as well. It became common for almost every home to have at least one candle, carefully placed to serve as a decorative feature.

Some candles were so aesthetically pleasing that they were considered more of a decoration than something that we light. Burning these candles can feel like a waste, especially when they are pricier. Once burned down, they no longer serve their purpose, and the remnants are discarded to make room for a new candle.

Some people buy and never light candles, which often feels like a waste. They leave these untouched candles on their bedside units or dining room tables in their original, pristine condition.

The candles are purchased primarily to display them. However, whether unburned or left as a decorative piece, it seemed like a missed opportunity to enjoy the candle’s essence.

Scented candles for the home

Then, scented candles entered the scene, ushering in a whole new world of home decoration. What used to be an item typically bought during the holidays or as a birthday gift suddenly became a significant trend.

Scented candles gave candlelight a newfound purpose. They were worth lighting every night, filling the room with a delightful fragrance.

However, even as they made the room smell lovely, there was still a slight twinge of guilt when lighting them, perhaps due to their decorative allure.

It was like money burnt but in a pretty and decorative way. When shopping online for candles, it’s safe to say that there are hundreds of places to choose from. Sometimes, a candle on the internet catches our eye.

So, what factors should we consider when making a good purchase regarding scented candles?

Candle burning time

Everyone desires a long-lasting candle that burns evenly without smoking. For instance, Yankee candles offer an impressive burn time of 150 hours, and when you initially light the wick correctly, they burn evenly, allowing you to make the most of your purchase.

The larger tea light candles typically have an average burn time of 5-7 hours. It’s essential to follow the instructions that come with candles. Contrary to what some might think, lighting a candle isn’t as simple as striking a match and watching it burn. Many candle instructions advise you to trim the wick to a specific length before the first lighting, especially with the more expensive ones.

Cutting the wicks on a candle

Candles require care to ensure you get the best out of them. One essential step for customers is to trim the candle’s wick before lighting it. This practice serves to reduce the amount of soot generated. What may be unknown to many is that there is a science behind wick trimming, and by doing so, you can extend the life of your candle. One of today’s most popular candles on the market is the Yankee Candle.

Wax melts have also gained significant popularity in recent times. If you’re interested, you can explore various wax melts available on eBay.

Due to their small tin containers, wax can easily spill once melted, so carefully handling the candles is essential.
