Scent & Mood: How Candles Influence Your Emotions

Have you ever noticed how a certain smell can instantly change your mood? Whether it’s the calming aroma of lavender or the zesty brightness of citrus, scent has the power to shift energy, reduce stress, and elevate your mood. That’s the magic behind aromatherapy candles—and it’s exactly what we handcraft at Shivora Candles.

The Science of Scent & Emotion

Your sense of smell is directly linked to your brain’s limbic system, which controls emotions, memories, and mood. This is why lighting a candle doesn’t just make your room smell amazing—it makes you feel something too
