Best way to use candles

9 replies

I’m new to candles having previously thought that artificial home fragrance gave me a headache. A friend recently
brought me a Neom candle which I’ve tried for a few days now and I love spa like the fragrance - plus no headaches. However, I can only smell the candle when I’m close to it.

What is the best way to use candles to fill quite a large open space with the same scent. Do I need a three wick candle in the middle of the room next time, or should I light two candles of the same scent at opposite sides of the room?

I light 2 candles at each end of the room alot of candles the scents are really subtle that's why I prefer wax melts

Neom reed diffusers are better for scenting the whole room

I prefer wax melts for more of a fragrance. I like the Scentsationals that you can buy in Asda. I have a through lounge so I will light one on each end of the room.

Candles create particulate pollution. They’re really not good for your health. In fact, most things that create an unnaturally strong aroma are not good for us - that includes perfumes too.

Your home doesn’t need to smell like a spa.

Loads of things can be seen as harmful to a small degree if you look into it enough. It's a candle not Class A drugs.

The bigger the candle, and sadly but not surprisingly, often the more expensive the stronger the scent. However I found some great large ones at the range for a few quid, the blackberry and ylang ylang one by jonas and James is great and scents a whole large room.

Neom do essential oil mixes which you can use in an air diffuser. Scents the whole house.

Thanks for clearing that up.
