How to Choose the Perfect Scented Candle for Every Room

|

Sep 08

If there is one thing we know to be true, it’s this: the right scent can shift the mood of a room in seconds - from soft and serene to bright and energising. But not every fragrance suits every space. Some rooms call for calm, others need a boost of freshness or a warm, welcoming note. CIRCA candles are designed to do just that - to complement your space, your style, and the feeling you want to create. Here’s your guide to choosing the perfect candle for each room in your home.

The Bedroom: For Calm and Connection

This is your wind-down zone - the place you start and end your day - so look for scents that create a calm, cocooned feeling. Try Amber & Sandalwood for a warm, intimate atmosphere. It’s grounding and slightly sensual, with just the right amount of depth to feel comforting without being heavy.

Best for: winding down, setting a sanctuary, evening rituals.

The Kitchen: For Energy and Odour Control

Between the cooking and the constant traffic, the kitchen benefits from a scent that’s both uplifting and functional. The Alchemy range is a perfect fit for the heart of the home. White Tea & Wild Mint is crisp, clean and herbaceous, with scent technology designed to neutralise kitchen odours and brighten the air.

Best for: energising mornings, post-dinner clean-ups, clearing the air.

Hosting a bigger crowd? Mango & Papaya brings a fruit-forward brightness that’s vibrant and social. Or for larger, open-plan spaces, Oceanique offers freshness and punch with a genderless, aquatic feel that fills the room without overwhelming it.

Best for: entertaining, togetherness, all-day ambience.

It’s also an epic 1kg, so it lasts into the wee hours of the night many times over.

Best for: spring evenings, outdoor dining, casual garden gatherings.
