Boost Your Mood and Productivity
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to promote physical and mental well being. If you enjoy burning scented candles in your home or workplace, a basic knowledge of aromatherapy can help you get the maximum benefits from your favorite candles.
The link between your mind and sense of smell means that candles are so much more than a beautiful addition to your desk or home. Read on below to find out which scents can boost your mood, sooth nerves, improve attention, and more.
FOCUS
Your ability to focus on a task until it is complete is one of the greatest indicators of your future success. However, endless distractions constantly disrupt our concentration. Scents of citrus as well as mint can help boost your mood, keeping you alert, inspired, and focused, and therefore increasing productivity and drive.
SCENTS:
• Rhubarb & Yuzu
• Lemon Verbena
• Citron & Mandarin
• Wild Mint & Eucalyptus
RECHARGE
No time for yoga or your morning meditation? Light a lavender scented candle. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Studies show that the scent of lavender can not only decrease your heart rate, but also calms the nervous system—lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and skin temperature. It can recharge your mind, relieve stress, improve mood and concentration, as well changing the brain waves to promote a more relaxed state and more restful sleep.
SCENTS:
• Lavender Cucumber Sage
CALM
Feeling anxious about a deadline? Floral scents have been used in traditional aromatherapy rituals for centuries. Researchers have found that certain scents can be as calming as valium, helping you to sleep more soundly. Pleasant scents like roses and jasmine are often linked to happy memories. They can also help to soothe nerves, making florals an ideal desktop candle fragrance for high-stress days.
SCENTS:
• Rose Gold & Basil
• Tunisian Jasmine & Honeysuckle
• Lavender Cucumber Sage
RELAX
Imagine strolling through the woods, shafts of light twinkling and the verdant scent filling your senses. It’s no surprise nature is a great relaxant. Scents like pine and birch can reduce stress and promote feelings of greater well-being. Close your eyes, inhale, and be transported to a calm mental space.
Scents that can boost your mood, calm your nerves, improve attention, and more.
Wolfgang & Isabella candles are lovingly hand-poured in small batches at our studio in downtown Los Angeles using 100% natural advanced soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans, free from palm wax, beeswax, petroleum, pesticides, and herbicides. Soy wax is eco-friendly, sustainable, gentle on the environment, absorbs more fragrance oil than any other natural wax candle, and lasts twice as long. To fragrance our candles, we use a 10% blend of the purest essential oils and phthalate-free perfume oils, whereas the industry standard is only between 3-7%. The result is a rich, creamy candle that burns evenly, cleanly, and smells absolutely divine, even when its not burning. This means the scent will last until the very end of the candle and will not fade. Our candles are preservative and petroleum-free and 100% vegan. Our wicks are lead-free and made from natural, organic paper, primed with vegetable-based wax.
Our aesthetic is clean, modern, and minimal, in a pleasing colour palette of black, white, and silver. Our gorgeous glass containers have our signature lotus logo on the front and come with a silver lid. We’re passionate about creative product design, but choose to keep our packaging minimal in order to reduce our carbon footprint. We use products sourced in the USA as much as possible, as we support our country, our planet, and our environment.
If you are trying to reduce your carbon footprint, these candles are the perfect choice, not only for your physical and mental well-being, but for the environment as well. Plus, a percentage of proceeds on every purchase is donated to one of our health or environmental charities. If you have a charity that you’d like for us to donate to on your behalf, please let us know.
Revel in the warm candlelight, delicate scent, and full experience of our candles. Our candle jars are 10.25 oz, and candle burntime is approximately 70+ hours. Enjoy!
