What Your Favourite Candle Scent Says About You
A playful guide for scent lovers who believe their home fragrances are totally part of their personality.
We believe your favourite candle says a lot about you. The kind of vibe you love, the lifestyle you crave, and how you like to slow down. Because when you’re scent obsessed (like we are), choosing the right fragrance isn’t just about smell… it’s about feeling.
So, let’s dive into the dreamy world of candle scent personalities. Which one sounds like you?
You love: Vanilla Patisserie
Personality: The Comfort Queen
Warm, sweet, and always inviting. You’re the one who makes everyone feel at home, with fluffy blankets, Netflix cued up, and something baking (or at least smelling like it is). You love soft lighting, cosy evenings, and that 'freshly baked' comfort.
Scent match: You’re all about indulgence, nostalgia, and a little everyday luxury.
You love: Manor Gardens
Personality: The Elegant Escapist
You’re the person who walks into a room and it feels like a scene from a romantic film. Sophisticated, poetic, and quietly powerful. Damson plum, rose, and patchouli are your trio of elegance. You’re drawn to timeless pieces, antique books, and long, slow mornings.
Scent match: You love beauty with depth, and scents that tell a story.
You love: Embers
Personality: The Soulful Introvert
You find peace in the little things. A crackling fire, a deep conversation, and that golden-hour light. Amber, cedarwood, and bergamot feel like a warm hug. You’re a deep thinker, maybe a journal-er, and always chasing that calm-but-captivating atmosphere.
Scent match: Moody, grounding, and unforgettable.
You love: Nutcracker
Personality: The Festive Romantic
You live for that magical, twinkly feeling, even outside the holidays. With roasted chestnuts, coffee, and vanilla in the air, you’re the type who starts watching Christmas films in October and lights a candle every evening like it’s a ritual.
Scent match: Comforting, whimsical, and always a little bit extra.
You love: Spiced Rhubarb
Personality: The Modern Muse
You’ve got edge and elegance. Bold, unexpected, and with a love for contrast, like fresh rhubarb and warming spice. You’re probably the trendsetter in your friend group, with Pinterest boards full of clean interiors and a wardrobe of neutrals (with a pop of red, obviously).
Scent match: Crisp, confident, and effortlessly cool.
You love: At the Château
Personality: The Dreamy Escapist
Soft florals, powdery elegance, and vintage charm. You’ve got a little French girl energy and a deep love for peaceful, beautiful spaces. You light a candle as part of your wind-down routine and daydream about summers in Provence.
Scent match: Romantic, classic, and full of quiet luxury.
You love: Lavender Fields
Personality: The Wellness Seeker
You crave calm like others crave coffee. You’re intentional, grounded, and happiest when your space smells like a spa. Whether you’re doing yoga, journaling, or simply lying down with your eyes closed for 10 minutes, lavender is your ultimate slow-living scent.
Scent match: Soft, serene, and unapologetically zen.
