Aromatherapy Candle

Someone looking for an aromatherapy candle usually cares about which oils are inside and how the scent feels after a long day, not just how the jar looks on a shelf.

• See whether the scent comes from essential oils, fragrance oils, or a blend, since the listing should say plainly.
• Favor candles that name specific botanicals such as lavender, eucalyptus, or bergamot instead of vague mood words.
• Choose a jar size that suits the room you actually relax in, since bedrooms need far less throw than a den.

Candles set a mood rather than treat conditions, so read ingredient lists carefully if anyone in the home has scent sensitivities.
