5 Tips For Best Utilizing Scented Candles

Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon carries a large variety of high-quality candles. Scented candles are very popular sellers. We've put together a few tips to help you get the most out of the the varieties that we carry in our Lake of the Ozarks candle boutique


Consider the size of the room.

Light, subtle scents are the best choice for small rooms. Anything too strong can overpower a smaller space and be unpleasant rather than welcoming. Save the bigger fragrances for more open areas.  

Don't overdo it. 

If you want to have a lot of candles lit in one room, they don't all have to be scented. Depending on the size of the room, only light 1 or 2 in an aroma you like, then use unscented candles to achieve the look you are going for. 


Match the season.

You don't want to grab just any scented candle randomly. Putting a little thought into the one that you choose makes a big difference. In the fall, spiced pumpkin and harvest apple scents match the season nicely. Cinnamon and evergreen take you to a wintry place. Floral aromas are perfect for spring, and in the summer find one that takes you to a sandy beach when you close your eyes. 


Use scents to convey a mood.

Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to add to an area's atmosphere and put you in a particular mood. People react in certain ways when they smell specific fragrances. For example:

  • Green Apple - manages cravings
  • Pumpkin Pie - increases blood flow
  • Cinnamon - improves focus
  • Coconut - relieves stress
  • Ginger - helps with nausea
  • Rose & Jasmine - helps with depression
  • Lavender - increases deep slow-wave sleep, relieves anxiety
  • Grapefruit - curbs depression & enhances memory
  • Citrus - relieves stress, aids with digestion & nausea
  • Peppermint - gives motivation, energy, & confidence, relieves stress

Mix complimentary scents.

If you cannot find the exact aroma that you are looking for, consider combining a couple of different scented candles to achieve it. Two similar fragrances can combine to make something brand new and amazing. 

Stopping by our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop on a Thursday is a great time to pick up a few different scents. Each week we host Fragrant Thursday, and if you buy at least $15 worth of Tyler scented products, including candles and more, we will give you a FREE gift! The value of the free gift increases with the amount of your purchase, so it's the ideal time to stock up.


Using scented candles is an excellent way to liven up any room. They please both the senses of sight and smell, and they create a very welcoming aura. Good & Perfect Gifts features a wide variety of different scents from many quality companies. If you don't see a scent you are looking for, let us know and we'll see if we can get it for you.
