Frequently Asked Questions about Crime Novel-Scented Candles

What are the warnings on scented candles?

While crime novel-scented candles can create a thrilling atmosphere, it's important to be aware of potential risks. Some scented candles may release organic pollutants when burned. These can include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which might contribute to indoor air pollution. For those with asthma or respiratory sensitivities, certain candle scents might act as irritants, causing discomfort or exacerbating symptoms.

To minimize these risks, consider using candles made from natural ingredients. Frostbeard Studio's candles, for example, are crafted from 100% soy wax, which is a cleaner-burning option compared to paraffin wax.

Who has the strongest smelling candles?

When it comes to strong scents, the key is in the fragrance options. Candles with a high concentration of fragrance oils tend to have a more potent aroma. Frostbeard Studio offers a range of candles with robust scent profiles, designed to fill your space with captivating aromas. For a strong and immersive experience, try the Sherlock's Study, which combines cherrywood, tobacco, and rain to envelop you in a detective's world.

What is a romantic candle scent?

Certain candle scents can evoke a sense of romance. Floral scents are often associated with romance due to their natural and soothing qualities. Scents like lavender, rose, and cherry blossom are known for their aphrodisiac effect, which can help set a romantic mood.

To improve a cozy reading night with a touch of romance, consider a candle like Pemberley Gardens, featuring rose, lavender, and hyacinth. This blend can create a serene ambiance, perfect for enjoying a romantic novel or simply unwinding after a long day.

By choosing the right candle, you can tailor your reading experience to match your mood and preferences. Whether you're diving into a mystery or setting a romantic scene, there's a scent to improve the story.
