In the most stressful weeks, calming down and taking a rest is a must. However, something is missing that one could consider enjoying the perfect moment: a scented candle.
A scented candle works by melting the wax. When the candle is heated, the wax around the flame melts and evaporates, along with the essential oils, into the air, releasing its iconic scent. It is recommended that the burn time of these candles not exceed 2 hours.

There are also different kinds of wax used in different candles: paraffin wax, beeswax, and organic waxes. Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum and is the most common type among the three when it comes to formulating a scented candle. It is economical and exudes a strong aroma, which is excellent for large spaces. Organic waxes like those made with soy, palm, and coconut wax are more expensive but better when it comes to using them for a scented candle. Beeswax is the kind of wax that is not ideal for a scented candle since it cannot hold the fragrance derived from essential oils very well.
Scented Candles Benefits
Scented candles have been known for their positive effects on many aspects, especially a person's mental health. Going home from a tiring day can ease our mood just by smelling the fragrance of the scent exuding from a burning scented candle. It can immediately help us relax and get away from all our problems, even just for a while. Oftentimes, people light up and burn a candle to set the mood for their self-care routine.
A scented candle does not only change the scent of the air; it is also visually appealing. It can elevate the aesthetics of your home and act as a pleasing welcome to your visitors. It can also be lit up at night as a source of light and room fragrance that can put you to sleep.

These candles are also great for certain events. Whether you are hosting a bachelorette party or a family reunion, a scented candle can get the dinner going.

Scented Candles on Small Spaces
Home is where our social energy recovers after a long day at work or school. However, resting and doing leisure activities are not perfect if there is no scented candle present. In small spaces like condo units, a scented candle is excellent when lit, as it sets the mood for resting and unwinding. The fragrance oozed by the scented candle spreads easier and covers up most of the spaces.

Burning candles is usually restricted in condominiums as part of their precautionary measures. However, it cannot stop us from wanting to have a living space with a pleasing and relaxing scent.
In condo units, candles can still be used, but not for the purpose of being the source of light. Scented candles, to be specific, are used to give your living space a better ambiance and a form of decoration that gives your visitors a warm welcome. Since open flame is not recommended, candle warmers are introduced so that you can enjoy the perks of scented candles without worrying about accidents.
Candle warmers are used to warm the candles instead of lighting them on fire. Compared to traditional candles, using candle warmers makes the fragrance stronger and more long-lasting. An open-flame candle burns the wax at a higher temperature, which causes the wax to absorb heat over the burn time and evaporate faster. On the other hand, candle warmers burn and melt the wax at a slower rate, which exudes a concentrated aroma and also lasts longer. When it comes to economic comparisons, buying a candle warmer might cost you more, but it is more economical in the long run since scented candles last longer under a candle warmer than on an open flame.
The freedom of choosing scents is an option, but having a scented candle at home is more of a must. As mentioned in the aforementioned paragraphs, these candles do have a lot of benefits, especially in small spaces like condo units. This is why scented candles are perfect to have in a condo as long as you know how to do it safely and correctly.
