Light My Fire

We found the best scented candles for a romantic Valentine’s Day.

Love is in air. And nothing sets a romantic scene quite like the glow (and seductive scent) of a chic candle. Research shows that the smell of roses, vanilla and other sweet treat can make you more relaxed--perfect for a night in. And since smell is the strongest and most vivid of trigger of all senses for memory, we suggest you choose a one that will take you back this a night of romance for years to come.

From the rose-based fragrances from Diptyque Paris, Aerin and Alexa Rodulfo to more exotic aromas from Vie Luxe and Pacifica, these candles fuel the passion that is synonymous with Valentine’s Day. So after a fabulous date night where you are primped from you face to your fingertips, take your Valentine home, light a candle—and let the sparks fly.—Barry Samaha
