The power that a Richly Scented Candle has over the mood of a room is undeniable. A properly chosen richly scented candle can stir up vivid memories and evoke positive emotions that reduce stress, increase happiness, and create a more pleasant atmosphere for just about any situation.

The fragrance of vanilla has long been the standard used when an experiment requires a scent that is universally regarded as pleasant. In one study, patients with cancer who were going through MRI scans (a highly stressful procedure) indicated 63% less discomfort when the scent of vanilla (similar to that used in a richly scented candle) was used in the procedure room.

So with the strong emotional reactions that a richly scented candle can produce, a lot of people are using them to improve their lives and even their businesses in a variety of ways.
