How our mood changes with the seasons — and the scents that accompany it
Nature is changing, and we are changing with it.
The way we dress, the way we decorate our home, the way we feel.
Perfumes, like clothes, have seasons.
The scent that relaxes you in the winter may seem "heavy" in the summer.
At Candelinas, we design our ranges with a seasonal mindset — to match not only your home, but also the season of your life.

Rebirth, light, freshness.
You want something that will refresh you and "wash away" the winter gloom.

What's better than being greeted by the scent of cinnamon as soon as you enter your home on a rainy afternoon?

You want something that feels like a hug.

Everywhere — it's the season of candles.
Light a vanilla candle while it's windy outside. You don't need anything else.
Tip for those of you who don't easily change perfume
If you have a favorite perfume and don't want to part with it:
-
Try it in a different intensity or formula.
-
The same scent may work differently in a snap bar in August and in a candle in December.
Have you tried experiencing the same scent in a different season?
