Spice Up Your Valentine’s Day with Scented Candles

With Valentine’s Day coming up, you might be wondering how to make your spouse or honey feel special. You don’t have to spend a fortune on a big meal at a crowded, overpriced restaurant on Valentine’s Day; instead, you can make it special right in your own home with just a few creative ideas that involve scented candles. Not only are scented candles beautiful and enhance your home with a variety of wonderful smells, but they can also put you and your partner in the mood for love this Valentine’s Day.

Before your spouse or partner arrives home, give your house a quick cleaning and then set out a variety of scented candles. There are three scents that you can use for the evening, each in a different part of your home to set the mood. Use vanilla to create a soothing effect so the scent will gently envelope and calm them when they first step inside. There is nothing more relaxing than this simple but enticing scent, and it will set the mood for the rest of the night. 

When it’s time to eat, let the smells of dinner take over for a bit. Have a light meal that won’t leave you too full for romance afterward. A glass of wine or two will help you unwind as well. Take your time with the meal and engage in some casual conversation. When dinner is over, it’s time to retire to the bedroom. Draw a warm bath for you both and light several ylang ylang scented candles, making sure they’re in an area where they can’t be knocked over. This scent has been a favorite for lovers all over the world for decades, and its light, clean scent is a definite aphrodisiac that will have you both in the mood for love in no time. Scented candles are a perfect way to enhance your romance not only this Valentine’s Day, but any time you want to put your partner in the mood for love.
