Candle advice! When choosing candles for a romantic evening, make sure that they do not emit harmful fumes, and the smell is not annoying.

One of the easiest ways to decorate a candlestick is with flowers and beads.

Candles should harmoniously fit into the décor, and emphasize the interior of the room and the surrounding objects (tablecloth, cutlery, flowers). Therefore, it is important to pay attention to their color. Neutral shades of white, passionate reds, and delicate pinks are best suited for a romantic evening. But this does not mean that other colors should be avoided, it all depends on the situation: blue, gold, green and even black candles will also fit perfectly into the atmosphere of love and passion.

Scented candles

Scented candles are the most commonly used for a romantic evening. With their help, you can simultaneously immerse the room in a mysterious twilight and fill it with alluring aromas. To create an intimate candlelight atmosphere, consider the following scents:

• Floral - rose, peony, freesia, and jasmine. They will lift your spirits and relax.
• Spices - ylang-ylang, neroli (flowers of the Seville orange), sandalwood, cinnamon, patchouli. These scents are energizing.

Scented candle Advice! Both partners should like the aroma, otherwise, it will cause unpleasant associations.
