Candle Fragrance Trends
Like a lot of things in life, candle scent preference is pretty subjective. Some may enjoy spicy scents, while others prefer florals, and still others might like candles with no scents at all.
Tip: Use unscented candles in the dining room, so there are no scents to conflict with the aroma and enjoyment of your food.
According to the National Candle Association, scented candles are the number one choice of U.S. consumers for home fragrancing. In additions, almost 75 percent of all candles sold in the U.S. are scented.
Popular Candle Scents
Spices: Vanilla and vanilla-based aromas have been the most popular candle scent for almost a decade. Other favorites in this category include cinnamon, coffee, mocha, gingerbread, pumpkin, apple pie, brown sugar and hazelnut.
