They areto be found in a whole host of different shapes designs and colours, not to mention a bewildering variety of fragrances\aromas. These fragrances vary from the traditional and familiar, such as rose freesia or orange blossom, to the more esoteric fragrance combinations such as Dragonfruit and Vanilla or Asian Pear Bellini. So why exactly are scented candles so popular? First and foremost, there is their exquisite aroma. That really is the essence of a good scented candle. Otherwise it is simply yet anorher candle. And there is more to this fragrance than might first appear. Scented candles not only make your home smell great, they can also do you good too. Doctors and other heath professionals have recognised for many years that certain aromas can have a beneficial effect on our mood and our sense of wellbeing. Indeed this is the very essence of aromatherapy. We all live such busy stressful lives these days that anything which can help us relax and unwind is greatly welcomed. And this is where scented candles come in, especially luxury candles such as those made by true grace candles which rely for their fragrance on the same essential oils which are used in the practice of aromatherapy.
