Smell is a powerful sense and you can use it to alter your mood within seconds with the flicker of a candle. First you have to envelope yourself in fragrance while you shower, dry and blow-dry. There is only one thing that can take you away faster than a Calgon bath, and that’s a scented candle. Whether you want a breath of fresh spring air or you want to carry yourself to a South Sea paradise (minus the hassle of airport security, big crowd, delayed flights and lost baggage), then grab a scented candle and travel wherever your imagination leads.

In fact, Holidays are not complete without candles. If you think back about those favorite holiday gatherings, your mind will probably wander to your favorite scents. Just think your favorite Christmas tree, and you are bound to remember the crisp smell of pine or cedar. The traditional holiday season from Thanksgiving to the New Year provides a natural cornucopia of Fragrance. From pumpkin pie to peppermint ice cream to vanilla, the scents of the holiday season are everywhere.

The seasons and holidays are full of naturally occurring complementary perfume. Each season contains a wealth of pleasing smell. Probably the holiday season provides the most scent. Recreate the memories of Christmas past with gingerbread, vanilla, cinnamon, eggnog, clove, nutmeg, pine, peppermint candles. The scents do not complete, because they occur naturally, and you have smelled them from infancy. You can find a candle to recreate the mood, if you can think of memory.

Just close your eyes and think of each season: spring, winter, summer and fall. Each suggests special sensual memories. In winter you have already suffered through 75 days of snow cover! Just light a pina colada candle or a seaside candle and pop in your favorite Beach Boys CD. After inhaling scents of summer, you forget about the cold for a few godly moments. Select a fragile flowery candle or may be a rain forest scent to remind you that April showers are right all around the corner. If it’s 102 degree Fahrenheit in the shade, there’s nothing like a pine-scented candle to send quick shiver up your back. Light a pumpkin candle to evoke the Harvest Moon and the reward of autumn. Whatever the mood you like to recreate, it’s only a candle away!

Now look around your home. Just think you have created a room or two around a theme. Perhaps you have created an indoor sunroom. Just bring your scent of the outdoors into your sunroom to add authenticity. Just think you have rooms based on colors. Add scented candles to that lilac room, rose scented candles to the pink room, new-mown grass-scented and rain forest candles to the green room, seaside candle to the blue room and vanilla to the white room. For every color there’s a match!
