Perfect Match - Candle Edition

HOTEL Candle by Shinola | Photo By: Cait Burch

What's better than your home smelling like a luxury hotel? I love searching for and finding the best candles and diffusers. I know certain scents have the ability to transform my space and mood, and candles are always an easy gift for any occasion.

Details I Don't Overlook:

❐ Scent

❐ Ingredients

❐ Color

❐ Fonts & Logos (I prefer little to none)

❐ Packaging Design

❐ Intended Location

I don't like clutter, so I'm a firm believer in being intentional when it comes to what I have on display. Finding the right candles or diffusers, and strategically placing them in your space can make a big impact for a small price. Changing home scents is also a really easy way to upgrade your home during different seasons. I've found the key to creating an unforgettable home fragrance is to combine masculine scents: leather, tobacco, and wood, with softer feminine scents: florals, fruits, and perfume. I really try to purchase quality candles and scents versus quantity. Investing in the right products are important when trying to elevate a space, or gifting a friend. Remember that scent is tied to memory, and why not be swept away to some of your favorite destinations in your own home? I've listed some of my top choices below!
