I can’t say exactly when it happened, but I have officially become a fragrance girlie. That said, because I spend most of my days working from home, I only sometimes use the favorites in my growing perfume wardrobe. However, the fragrance assortment I am constantly refilling is my candle collection. My morning ritual includes brewing a homemade Americano in my Nespresso machine, lighting a candle, turning on a Spotify playlist, and sitting at my computer to take on the day.
As I got the idea to light more than one candle at a time, I thought to myself, “Am I doing this right?” What I’ve realized as I’ve tested candle scents in my day-to-day life—and for this story—is that, unlike layering the wrong perfume on the skin, candle scents are much more forgiving, and it can be really fun to play alchemist by mixing, matching, and layering my favorite wicks for a unique and signature home scent.
