Spring scented candles should feature lighter fragrances like herbs, flowers, and citrus to match the season's freshness.
Their bestselling - and sometimes out of stock - "Old Hollywood" candle will bring you back to the silver screen's golden age with the smell of "deep, smoky and worn-in leather," which might be ideal with TCM playing in the background. The "Rom Com" scent evokes the feeling of a "meet-cute in a grocery aisle" with something clean, fresh and floral (maybe for watching Jane Austen Wrecked My Life or Materialists).
Aside from the whole aromatherapy factor, they're also a champion vibe setter, mood-lifter, and the most-well curated among them can also serve as decor. It's a big reason why they've become a safety gift: the one thing you can pick up on the sly when you forgot to buy a potted plant for a housewarming party or a more specific holiday present.
