Scented candles

Scented candles for your home

Sometimes you need a bit of help unwinding after a long day of work. Slip into a deeper state of calm with soothing scented candles that transform the mood of any room. When it’s been a long week and it’s time to curl up on the couch with your four-legged friend, take relaxation to another level with the fragrance of scented candles. Before you dim the lights, turn some music on and reach for that glass of wine, light a candle or tealight whose aroma stirs up nostalgia for places you’ve been or simply adds a touch of wonder when hosting guests for dinner parties. 

Harness the scent of dreamy seasons, exotic destinations, and perfect moods

Not sure what to look for in home scents? Go with what speaks to you and let scented candles help bring tranquility through a soothing aroma. Choose nostalgia-invoking vanilla candles in the bedroom as you read at night. Relax in a warm bath while a fragrance tailored to your mood transforms the room. Or light a beautiful floral candle cradled by elegant glass whose alluring scent of flowers recalls gardens you visited on vacation. For the holidays, try our spice-scented candles with clove and cinnamon, or our new pumpkin shaped candles for your Thanksgiving table, in a limited edition.

Many IKEA scented candles come in a variety of colours in decorative and colour tinted glass holders. Once your long-lasting scented glass candle is spent after up to 50 hours, place scented tealights that can last up to 3.5 hours in the same glass candle holders. Besides colour tinted glass, find a variety of designs in glazed stoneware candle holders to serve as accent pieces along with colourful scented candles. Use a 3 wick scented candle to raise the intimacy of dinner with that special someone. Or dot your dining room table with tall and wide fragrant pillar candles that you can place on serving dishes.
