Choosing the right candle for a room comes down to three simple factors: room size, purpose, and sillage (how strong the scent feels in the space). Use the guidance below to select a candle that feels refined and comfortable—never overpowering.
For the fastest result, start with the room type (bedroom, living room, office), then select your preferred Mood/Character, and finish by choosing the right Sillage level.
Quick room guide (recommended)
- Bedroom: Soft to Moderate sillage; relaxing or comforting mood
- Living room: Moderate to Strong sillage; welcoming, balanced profiles
- Office: Soft to Moderate sillage; clean, fresh, focus-friendly profiles
Bedroom
For bedrooms, comfort matters most. Choose scents that feel calm and clean, and keep the presence softer so it stays relaxing.
- Best Mood: Relaxing, Comforting, Meditative
- Best Character: Clean, Light, Floral, Warm
- Recommended Sillage: Soft or Moderate
- Tip: If your bedroom is small or you are scent-sensitive, start with Soft sillage.
Living room
Living rooms can handle more presence and are ideal for creating a welcoming atmosphere. Choose balanced scents that feel premium and inviting.
- Best Mood: Uplifting, Cozy, Comforting, Romantic
- Best Character: Elegant, Warm, Woody, Citrusy
- Recommended Sillage: Moderate or Strong
- Tip: For open-plan spaces, Strong sillage often feels more noticeable and balanced.
Office
For workspaces, the goal is a clean and supportive atmosphere. Choose a subtle profile that helps focus and feels professional.
- Best Mood: Focused, Refreshing, Uplifting
- Best Impact: Focus-Boosting, Balancing
- Best Character: Clean, Fresh, Citrusy, Minimalist
- Recommended Sillage: Soft or Moderate
- Tip: In shared offices, Soft sillage is the most considerate choice.
How to choose the right Sillage (strength)
Use sillage to match your room size and preference:
- Soft: small rooms, shared spaces, or scent-sensitive environments
- Moderate: everyday balance for most rooms
- Strong: medium/large rooms or open-plan areas
- Very Strong: large spaces or strong preference (use with intention)
