The 4 Basic Candle Scent Types You Need To Know

zeke candle scent type

Candle scents are grouped into 4 distinct categories – Fresh, Floral, Woody and Oriental.

Each candle has a fragrance blend that is a harmony of top, middle and base notes. Top notes are what you smell first when enjoying a candle before the middle notes are revealed. As the candle burns, the base notes gradually come to light. Even though fragrance notes from a candle may belong to different scent categories, there is usually a dominant aroma in a candle which determines how the candle is ultimately classified.
