Occassion Candles
Candles can be a perfect way to make any occasion more special, set the mood, or enhance the ambiance (with WB candles, of course!). Certain scent notes can enhance various atmospheres, so here is our choice based on The Wandering Bee’s Core Collection.
Relaxation - Honey Bear
The simple act of lighting a candle can instantly cause us to calm down and forget about the worries of day-to-day life. To enhance the tranquility of your surroundings and aid you when you want to relax and unwind, be mindful of the scent of the candle you light. When you want to be soothed, pick a candle that has calming scent notes such as chamomile, honey and sandalwood. Just like our very own Honey Bear. With top notes of white freesia, bergamot and chamomile. All of which can cause the mind to switch off and unwind. White freesia and bergamot both have relaxing superpowers and aid in relieving stress. While white freesia relaxes the mind, bergamot can be a two-in-one. It has energising properties while also promoting healthy restful sleep. As well as this, studies have shown that the aroma of sandalwood can ground and quiet a busy mind.
Spa Night - Sun of a Beach
An at-home spa night can be the perfect way to unwind from a stressful week and show yourself the self-care that you deserve. Pick up a face mask, your favourite drink, and a Sun of a Beach candle. For a spa night, you need a fresh, uplifting candle to create that authentic spa vibe. Sun of a Beach will help you to recreate a spa-like environment with refreshing scents such as orange zest, lilac and tonka bean. The top notes of fresh bergamot will instantly transport you to a place of tranquility while the properties of orange zest will reduce your stress, uplift and refresh you. Sun of a Beach is a must-have if you have a lust for a spa night!
Seasonal Decor - Nostalgic Nights & Rosy Glow
Matching your candles to the season is the perfect way to step up the atmosphere in your home. In the summer, opt for light refreshing scents such as plum, poppy flower and water lily, which are found in our Rosy Glow candle. These scents will uplift and rejuvenate you while instantly making you think of happy summer memories! As the weather starts to turn cooler, opt for a warmer candle with notes of warm amber, pine needle and patchouli, found in our Nostalgic Nights candle. These scent notes will provide a cosy and autumnal atmosphere, sure to get you ready for the darker nights.
Home Office - Antique Bookshop
If you work from home and often find yourself lacking motivation, adding a simple candle to your office can help inspire you and make a more inviting space. Your home office needs to be a place that promotes creativity, focus and wisdom. For this, you need scents that boost your concentration such as ginger. Ginger is often attributed as being the “oil of empowerment” as it helps to focus the mind while also reducing stress and anxiety. White patchouli will give you a sense of grounding and will ease your mind therefore, helping you to think more clearly. This rich, masculine scent evokes feelings of comfort which in turn will empower you to get your work done!
Birthday Parties - Wild Black Cherry Tree & Mini Mallows
For birthday celebrations, select candles with fun and sweet scents - something that you will remember for years to come. Our brains often remember certain smells and associate them with a memory, so picking a candle such as Wild Black Cherry Tree is perfect for a fun and happy occasion like a birthday! The sweet notes of cherry, raspberry and pomegranate will add a playful touch to the occasion while ensuring that you remember this happy memory every time you smell wild black cherries. As well as this, our brand new Core Collection scent, Mini Mallows, will be a hit for all fun parties. This sweet and decadent scent will remind you of creamy toasted marshmallows and send you straight back to your childhood birthday days.
Date night - Dusk Till Dawn
Date night needs to be romantic, warm and intimate and you need a scent that matches that feeling. With top notes of dark honey, this scent is sure to relax you and allow you to fully embrace the romantic feel of a date night. The mid-note of jasmine will add a sensual hit to the room and is often said to symbolise love and beauty. This indulgent candle also has notes of cedar, which is an unrecognisably warm and exotic scent. Our Dusk Till Dawn candle will ensure an unforgettable date night by adding an air of sophistication to your home.
