Since candles are made of wax that is extremely malleable, they can be made in different beautiful color schemes, carved in any required shape and lately rendered a variety of scents. How does one add a scent to these candles? A few drops of a scented oil are well-mixed which, when burn, evaporate into a fragrance. Scented oils such as bayberry, cinnamon, rose, lavender, gardenia, orange, rosemary, jasmine etc. are used in the manufacturing of these candles.

Scented romantic candles are made in mind-boggling variety of shapes, colors, themes etc. E.g. candles are created in the shape of a rose and thus when lit, smell of rose. Scented candles are available on polyresin stands or used as floating versions such as floating roses. One needs to just pour some water in a crystal or glass bowl (use colored water), put in some marbles and let the candles float! Another great gift idea is a delicious looking chocolate type heart-shaped candle with a chocolate fragrance! Candles embedded with dried flowers and fit in a terracotta vessel look equally graceful. Think beyond the conventional realms of heart-shaped cards and teddy bears.
