COMPLETE GUIDE – HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SCENTED CANDLE

Choosing a scented candle is not just about the fragrance. It’s a way to create an atmosphere, accompany a moment, and care for your space. This guide is designed to help you make an informed choice, based on your preferences, daily life, and the ambiance you wish to create.

WHY CHOOSING THE RIGHT CANDLE MATTERS

A quality candle offers much more than a pleasant fragrance. It influences the atmosphere of a room, the air quality, and the overall experience when lit. The ingredients used, the type of wick, and the fragrance intensity all play an essential role. At Les Passionnées, each candle is designed to be enjoyed often and for long periods, without compromising the gentle ambiance it creates.

NATURAL WAX OR SYNTHETIC WAX: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE

Not all waxes are created equal.

Natural Waxes (Soy, Coconut)

  1. Cleaner burn
  2. Better fragrance diffusion
  3. Slower, more even burn
  4. Softer, non-aggressive scent

Synthetic Waxes (Paraffin)

  1. Derived from petroleum
  2. Often stronger, heavier scent
  3. Less stable burn

Les Passionnées candles are made from a blend of soy and coconut wax for a clean burn and balanced fragrance.
