Spring: A Breath of Freshness

As the world awakens from its winter slumber, spring brings forth a renewed sense of vitality and freshness. Customers during this season often seek light, airy fragrances that capture the essence of blooming flowers and dew-kissed mornings. Go for floral scents such as lavender, rose, jasmine, and lilac that reflect the florals that are taking over our gardens. You can also experiment with hints of citrus or herbal notes like bergamot, lemongrass, or mint to add a touch of zing to your springtime creations. All the fresh flower scents and clean citrus aromas are perfect for springtime as they uplift the already sunny days and emulate the freshness of new life in the air.

Our favourites for Spring include:

Summer: A Symphony of Tropical Delights

With the sun shining high and those jet-setting holidays on the horizon, summer is synonymous with vibrant energy and tropical escapes. Your customers will yearn for fragrances that transport them to white sandy beaches, lush rainforests, and exotic fruit orchards. Our team over here are guilty of falling in love with the same summer fragrances every year because they just transport you to those sandy beaches in a hot place. Embrace fruity scents like strawberries, mango, coconut, and watermelon. To add the extra holiday feel, tropical-scented flowers like hibiscus and refreshing notes of cucumber and mint provide a cooling sensation that is irresistible when the sun is shining.

Autumn: Cosy Warmth and Earthy Aromas

As the leaves change colour and a gentle breeze carries a hint of nostalgia, autumn invites us to wrap ourselves in the warmth of cosy moments. Your customers are likely to gravitate towards fragrances that evoke a sense of comfort and earthy richness. Autumn is not only the ending of the summer but the transition that sees us into Winter. Therefore, we need warmth and cosiness to see us through the seasons with ease. You can capture the essence of the season with warm scents like hazelnut, vanilla, nutmeg, autumn fruits and pumpkin. Add depth to your creations with woody notes such as sandalwood, cedar, or amber, which are bound to cuddle your customers up in a cosy embrace.

Winter: Capturing Christmas

Winter conjures images of crackling fireplaces, sparkling snowflakes, and joyful celebrations. It’s Christmas season! During this time of year, people seek fragrances that create an enchanting ambience and capture the spirit of festivities. Embrace rich, deep scents like frankincense, myrrh, cedarwood, and balsam fir. Compliment these rich aromas with some Christmas sweetness in fragrances that have notes of cranberry, chocolate, cinnamon, or clove. Infuse your creations with warmth and comfort to help your customers create a cosy retreat from the winter chill.

Understanding Customer Preferences: Candles, Diffusers, and Wax Melts

While fragrance is a significant factor in customer satisfaction, understanding their preferences for different products can enhance their experience further. Candles provide a mesmerising visual display, providing you choose the right wick, along with their ability to release a gentle aroma through their throw. This does make candles a popular choice for consumers all year round, however, the flame of a candle fits in well with your cosier seasons, Winter and Autumn. Here you would expect to see the best sales for your scented candles. Pair up your candle wax with the right fragrance and you’re onto a seasonal winner.

Diffusers are another home fragrance favourite! They offer a consistent and subtle scented experience, making them ideal for customers who prefer a continuous scent without an open flame. They are ideal for Spring and Summer months because they can fill a room with the same beautiful scents without having to light up a candle that will emit heat in the already warm weather.

Another wax product that is destined for seasonal fragrance oils is wax melts. Wax melts are versatile and allow customers to try out new scents with ease, swapping between the snappable melts whenever they please. This makes them a great all-year-round product. Similarly with candles though, they involve a lit flame so are perfect for creating a cosy winter feel.

Getting Started with Fragrance Oils

If you're new to the candle-making industry, fragrance oils are an excellent starting point to explore the world of scents. Here are a few tips to get you started:

Test and experiment: Start with a small batch and experiment with different fragrance oils to find your signature scents. Keep detailed records of your recipes to replicate successful blends.

Consider fragrance load: Be mindful of the recommended fragrance load for the type of candle you're making. Different waxes have varying fragrance capacities, so follow guidelines to ensure optimal scent throw.

Allow curing time: Fragrance oils may change over time, so allow your candles to cure for a few days or weeks before testing their true scent.
