It’s no secret that candles have some kind of soothing superpower. Even without an aroma, the soft glow and flickering flame are calming and mesmerising, naturally lowing stress levels.
Add a scent to the to the mix, and you’re relaxing experience is even more enriching. But, what’s the difference between fragrance oils and essential oils? And are essential oils really better?
Let’s talk basics
Candles can be either scented or unscented. Scented ones get their aroma from fragrance oils or essential oils. They might smell similar — perhaps even identical — but there are significant differences.
Fragrances
Fragrance oils don’t deliver any health benefits, they just smell nice. And there’s nothing wrong with that! Many people are quite happy to have a candle that smells absolutely wonderful, but others are looking for a one that goes the extra mile…
Essential Oils
Essential oils are a concentrated oil derived directly from organic plant material. That means they’re completely natural, and contain the strongest, authentic scents of that particular plant. Nature is a giver, and through essential oils, we receive restorative, relaxing benefits that can be delivered aromatically through a candle. Inhalation is one of the quickest ways to have a calming effect on your nervous system.

This makes them very unique as most essential oil candles have fragrance oils added (even though that is not often mentioned).

The life force of a plant is said to be contained in the essential oil. In some cases it takes bucket fulls of blossoms to extract a mere teaspoon of essential oil.
