International Scented Candle Day
November 1 · Level 1 · #2134 of 2238
International Scented Candle Day is an excuse to light a candle with a favourite smell and make the evening cosier: vanilla, pine, cinnamon or fresh laundry. Fans of home fragrance mark it because they know how much a scent can change a mood.
How it is celebrated: people light candles at home or at the office, give them to friends, build collections of scents and set up quiet evenings with tea and a book. A team can try a mini tasting: guess the scent without looking at the label.
Candle makers talk about a "cold throw", the scent of an unlit candle, and a "hot throw", the scent that spreads once the wax melts. For an even burn, let the wax melt across the whole surface the first time you light it.
