1. Spring candle scents: awaken fresh beginnings Spring is such a beautiful time of year, bringing with it a sense of renewal and energy. To accent the beauty of the season inside your home, Emmerse, a luxury artisanal retail based in Brookhaven, GA, recommends selecting candle scents that capture the essence of the season. Paraben and phthalate-free candle scents like peonies, lavender, and lilacs are winners for the season. The signature seasonal scents for spring capture the vitality that evokes the freshness of blossoming gardens and morning breezes. Think lavender wafting through open windows or the zesty burst of grapefruit to brighten your day.
