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.
Essential oils at Lemon Canary
Our 100% essential oil scented candles are made from the finest pure and organic essential oils. To create the most natural and healthy candle possible, absolutely no fragrance oils are added to our essential oil candle scents. This makes them very unique as most essential oil candles have fragrance oils added (even though that is not often mentioned). Plus, our essential oil candles are lovingly handmade, sustainable, cruelty-free and the wicks are lead and zinc free.
Calming, Restful and Relaxing? Try… Dream*, Meditate*, Winter Solstice and Little Owl.

What is a private label, cleanskin or white label product at Lemon Canary?
Cleanskin candles and products are also referred to as white label products. They are soy candles, essential oils, body mists, natural perfumes, soy wax melts and other products that are supplied with no label so you can apply your own. The other option is private labelling.
Private label candles and products are those we attach a customers own unique label to.
With our cleanskin and private label service you can create a custom product as unique as you are.
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. When used correctly, each essential oil has it’s own special effect on the body. When used incorrectly essential oils can do harm so please always follow the instructions and advice provided.
Here’s the most common and effective ways to use organic essential oils. All these methods are not suitable for every essential oil or blend so check the product information for the best method of use for that specific oil before you get started…
Did you know that more than all other senses, scent is associated with memory?
The entire fragrance industry has been built on the emotional connections we have to scents and all of the memories that are evoked.
It is one of the major reasons why Chanel No. 5 has been the world’s top-selling perfume for 98 years. However, there is a major turning point within the beauty industry upon us.
The current clean beauty movement, one that used to be viewed as a niche trend in the past, has changed how beauty products are perceived.

Hummingbird candle is to die for like a buttery lemon shortbread that makes the house smell like an Italian bakery, the second best thing is the vintage jar that you’ll actually reuse ♻️ 💕
Mike, Denise, and the Canaries are fantastic! Every order we've received has been perfect, and the occasional note of gratitude really makes the experience that much better. The range of fabulous scents, has myself and the team here in love. We use the candles as a delightful addition to some of our packages, but truth be told, we can't resist keeping one for our own staff room. Thank you from the team!

Absolutely love and adore Lemon Canary's creations. The candles carry so much beautiful energy and intention and you can feel the love flowing through the products. The crystals and botanicals adorning the intentional bowls are just heaven and are perfect to use for any ritual (I love using mine for New Moon intention setting). I'm in love. Thank you so much Chris and the team for creating so much magic to share with us all.
