Valentine’s Day 2019
Valentine’s day is celebrated across the world and many people choose to celebrate their relationship with their partner in many ways. This is a time for creating special memories and for treating your loved one with gifts and surprises!
Candles have long been associated with romance, used for candle lit dinners and such like. One reason is linked to how candles throw the light in a darkened room. Candles create shadows, light flickers and gentle atmospheric lighting sets the romantic mood. The phrase “an old flame’’ was developed originally from the ‘love’ association with candles.
Candles have been used for centuries, before electricity, and now they are used for special occasions, dinner parties, festivals and events that require the special touch of a candle’s glimmering flame. Science has found that the human circadian rhythm (the one that maintains our day/night cycle) is very sensitive to changes in light. Low light communicates to our bodies that it is time to relax, making us more at ease and less stressed. Candlelight is therefore a wonderful addition for a dinner date because it provides just enough light, while dimming your focus from distracting surroundings.
Another reason candles are also fabulously romantic is due to the vast range of scents they provide, scent is well known to alter mood, energise or relax and reduce anxiety. The aromatherapy properties coming from a lighted naturally scented candle can deliver immediate beneficial psychological effects. Fragrance and natural scents have an especially profound effect on the part of your brain that elicits emotion. For example, Lavender has soothing and calming effects and can inspire sleep and relaxation.
Vanilla along with the lovely warm earthy spices of nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger are a great combination. These are the best scents for setting a warm, calming romantic mood. Take a look below at the St. Eval Sensuality candle for a similar blended fragrance candle.
Ylang Ylang evokes the sense of love and romance in the air with its lush floral fragrance. Rose is another obvious choice of scent for Valentine’s day, strongly associated with love and romance!
