Spring

1. Lilac Blossoms-Yankee Candle

Lilac is the unofficial scent of spring. We are 100% behind this statement, whether you are on board or not! When you see lilacs blooming, you know you are getting to the good part of spring. If you can’t wait for the flowers to bloom, you are going to want to grab a Lilac Blossoms candle instead. The combination of lilac and lavender will have you feeling like you are standing in a giant bush, while sitting in the middle of your living room. Burn it by itself, or even with another floral scent for an even greater smelling concoction.

2. Champagne Toast-BBW

Cheers to spring and to April showers for bringing May flowers! If you’re going to celebrate, you should do it right. Grab your Champagne Toast candle, light it and relax. This candle scent is light enough to have it burn all day, yet strong enough to fill an entire room. While champagne itself can have drier scents, the candle version mixes in some berries to help balance it. This is a candle that you will want to have going all spring long. Make sure to stock up during the SAS!

3. Panjore Lychee-Voluspa

Fresh, fruity and feminine. That pretty much describes this candle scent. The Panjore Lychee candle is an intriguing mix of sweet and citrus. You would think it might be overwhelming, right?

You can have it in the living room as part of the decor, or save it for the bedroom when you need to relax. Either way, you’ll want to keep this scent on hand for whenever you need it.

The floral scent has just the right amount of sweetness to get your attention. You can light the candle in any room for an all day, light refreshing smell. It will be your next go to summer scent!

Fall

1. Pumpkin Apple-BBW

Move over pumpkin spice and say hello to pumpkin apple! Yes, that’s right, pumpkin apple. It might sound a little strange, but it actually is an amazing candle scent. The spicier scents of pumpkin get balanced out with the crisper scents of apple. It’s basically a day at the cider mill, wrapped up into a glass jar. With a touch of cinnamon to give off cozy vibes, this scent is one that you are going to want to be burning all season long.

2. Mahogany Teakwood-BBW

Maybe, you share your space with a male and don’t want to overwhelm him with sweet scents. Maybe, you just like a clean strong scent. Whatever the reason, a Mahogany Teakwood candle is the way to go this fall! A little woodsy and a little spicy, what could be better. Since this scent does contain teakwood, it’s great for those of you who don’t want a super sweet smelling fall candle. If you have a large space, there is even a Mahogany Teakwood high intensity candle. So, you can have all the smells, all the time!
