The Best Scent for the Kitchen

If you want to clear the air after an afternoon of cooking, a scented candle is the perfect choice. In the hot summer months, food odors can linger for hours after your meal has already been enjoyed, so it’s important to choose the right scent to complement your kitchen and dining area. A lovely scented candle is also the perfect choice to set the atmosphere when you’re hosting for the evening, and is certain to leave a strong, positive impression.

Here are a few of our personal recommendations:

Rosemary

Rosemary is one of the most popular herbal scents on the market, both due to the loveliness of its fragrance as well as its health benefits. The scent of rosemary has been shown to improve memory recall and reduce overall stress, making it the perfect wind down scent at the end of a long day. It is also the perfect scented candle to pair with Italian or French food, as rosemary is a popular fragrance in both styles of cuisine.

Our own scent, Rosemary & Bay Leaf, is our most popular fragrance and our personal favourite. Lauded for its peaceful and relaxing qualities, you’ll be certain to enjoy a relaxing evening in after your meal.

Citrus

Citrus is the perfect finisher for a hefty meal. The reason that it’s so often a dessert ingredient is because citrus is cleansing and revitalising, a natural way to wake yourself up if you’re feeling fatigued. This is the perfect scent to burn after a heavy lunch, cheering your mood and giving you a pleasant boost of energy to finish out the day. You’ll often find that citrus is used in many different varieties of candles.

Perfect as a top note, you’ll find citrus in several of our fragrances, such as Honeysuckle Garden and our newest scent, Bergamot & Nettle. 

Fig

Often thought to be a seasonal fragrance, fig is an excellent fragrance for the kitchen year round. The subtle tones of honey and fruit make fig a particularly striking scent, rich and soothing, and the perfect complement with any food scents. This is perfect if you want something both luxury and gourmand to freshen the air.

Our Tomato Vine scent has notes of fig. Combining that with the fresh, green scent of tomato, this is the perfect scent to burn after cooking. 

Ginger

Ginger is the perfect palate cleanser, bubbly like citrus and as refreshing as rosemary. It also had a spiciness to it, the perfect scent to help energise you for the day. If you want a scented candle that will cheer your mood, ginger should be at the top of your list. Its relation to food also makes it perfect for both your kitchen and dining area.

Our Lemongrass & Ginger scent is perfect combination of both citrus and ginger.
