How to Romanticize Your Routine with Scent
There’s something magical about lighting a candle, not just for the scent, but for the shift it creates. Suddenly, your kitchen isn’t just a kitchen, it’s your own personal café. Your bedroom becomes a sanctuary. Your skincare routine? A self-care ritual.
Romanticizing your routine isn’t about pretending life is perfect; it’s about pausing long enough to notice the moments that are already special. And scent is one of the easiest, most powerful ways to do just that.
Also… let’s drop the whole “saving your candle for special occasions” narrative.
You don’t need a dinner party or a fancy moment to light the good one.
Your everyday is reason enough. Your candle deserves to be lit, loved, and enjoyed now.
Here’s how I use scent to add a little glow to the day-to-day:
☀️ Morning Reset
Start the day with something clean and bright. I love lighting Clean Slate (lemon verbena + mint) while I sip my matcha or journal — it feels like cracking open a window and letting fresh air in. It sets the tone for a clear-headed, intentional day.
💻 Midday Focus
When I need a little motivation (or to romanticize answering emails), I light Citrus Cabana — think blood orange + toasted coconut. It’s uplifting without being overwhelming, and it keeps my energy high without another shot of espresso.
🌙 Evening Wind-Down
As soon as the sun dips, the cozy vibes turn on. Whether I’m doing skincare, watching Love Island (iykyk), or just decompressing from the day, Peaceful Warrior is my go-to. With notes of palo santo, sandalwood, and amber noir, it wraps your space in calm.
🛁 Ultimate Me-Time Moment
When I want to fully unplug, I go for With a Twist (limoncello + black cherry). It’s fun, flirty, and feels like slipping into something silky after a long day. Light it before a bath, during a glass of wine, or while watching your comfort movie.
🕯️ Why It Matters
Scent has a direct connection to memory and emotion. Lighting a candle doesn’t just make a room smell good; it grounds you. It brings you back to the present. It turns something ordinary into something intentional.
So here’s your permission to light the good candle.
Even if you’re just folding laundry.
Even if it’s Tuesday.
Even if no one else is around.
You deserve to feel good in the small moments, too.
