How to Layer Scents Like a Pro: Pairing Perfumes with Candles

Kashish Bhatia

Pairing perfumes with candles is like creating a mood for your space using scents. It’s all about finding fragrances that complement each other. For instance, a light, floral perfume can work wonderfully with a fresh lavender or jasmine candle for a calming vibe. On the other hand, if you love rich, warm scents, try pairing a vanilla or cinnamon perfume with a cozy, spicy candle like sandalwood. Just be sure the strength of both the perfume and candle match—nothing too overpowering! The fun part is experimenting and finding the perfect combo that feels uniquely yours.
