Choosing the Perfect Candle: Scents Inspired by Scotland’s Coast

Choosing the right candle can transform your home into a warm, welcoming space. At Loch Fyne Candles, we know that selecting the perfect candle involves more than just picking a scent; it’s about creating an atmosphere that feels just right for you.

1. Think About the Room:
Different spaces benefit from different types of candles. For example, a fresh and clean scent suits kitchens and bathrooms, while richer, comforting fragrances are perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. Larger spaces often need larger candles or multiple smaller ones to fill the room with fragrance.

2. Pick the Right Wax:
At Loch Fyne Candles, we use eco-friendly soy wax for a cleaner, longer-lasting burn. Soy wax candles are better for the environment and produce less soot compared to traditional paraffin candles.

3. Choose a Signature Scent:
A signature scent can make your house truly feel like home. Some people love fresh coastal scents that bring the outdoors inside, while others prefer earthy, woodsy notes or soft florals. Trust your instinct, the best candle for you is one that makes you feel happy and relaxed.

4. Size Matters:
For large, open-plan areas, a candle in a larger jar will diffuse scent more effectively. In smaller rooms, a medium or small candle is often enough to create a cosy atmosphere without overpowering the space.

5. Prioritise Quality:
Not all candles are created equal. At Loch Fyne Candles, we hand-pour every candle in small batches in Tarbert, Scotland, ensuring a premium finish and consistent fragrance throughout the burn.

Choosing a candle is a personal experience, and it should be enjoyable. Take your time, smell different options (if you can), and select the candle that feels “just right” for your space.
