Step 1: Scented Candle Placement Tips: The Right Way
Want your home to smell amazing with just scented candles? Scented candle placement tips are important as it’s all about smart placement for the nicest smell. A single well-placed, clean-burning candle can completely change the mood of your space.
Where To Place Your Candle
🚪 Entryway — First Impressions Matter
Your entryway sets the tone for the whole home. Place a candle on a sturdy console table, floating shelf, or wall niche so guests are greeted by a gentle, welcoming scent the moment they step in.
- Best scents: Bright citrus (bergamot, lemon), white tea, and soft florals that create an instant, welcoming home fragrance without overpowering
- Pro tip: For stronger scent throw at first impression, place a single‑wick soy candle on a console at nose height in a draft‑free spot and light it 20–30 minutes before guests arrive
- Our recommendation: Moonlit Meadow (Jasmine, White Tea, Ylang Ylang, Lemon)
🛋️ Living Room — The Heart of Connection
This is where conversations happen, movies roll, and relaxation takes center stage. Position candles on coffee tables, side tables, or mantelpieces so the fragrance can circulate evenly without overpowering the space.
- Best scents: Woody and warm (sandalwood, cedar, amber) or uplifting citrus‑herbal blends that suit open‑plan spaces and cozy gatherings
- Pro tip: In larger rooms, use a high‑quality single‑wick candle with a strong scent throw, and place it away from AC vents so the fragrance spreads naturally without being overpowered
- Our recommendation: Mystic Woods (Amber, Oud, Sandalwood, Patchouli)
🛏️ Bedroom — Your Personal Retreat
Your bedroom is your sanctuary, so keep your candle placement calm and cozy. A spot on a dresser, nightstand, or floating shelf works beautifully — never directly under vents or next to fabrics.
- Best scents: Sleep‑friendly notes like lavender, rose, or musk for a calming, long‑lasting aroma
- Pro tip: Light your candle 30 minutes before bedtime, then safely extinguish it to enjoy the lingering aroma
- Our recommendation: Dark Romance (Amber, Oud, Rose, Passion Fruit, Bitter Orange, Cinnamon)
🛁 Bathroom — Everyday Spa Vibes
Even a quick shower can feel like a spa with the right candle glow. Place candles near the sink, on a bathtub ledge (if secure), or on a vanity.
- Best scents: Eucalyptus, peppermint, fresh ocean blends, and soft florals
- Extra touch: Burn 10–15 minutes before use; a single‑wick candle with high scent throw works best in small spaces
- Our recommendation: Sun-Kissed Petals (Rose, Vanilla, Lemon, Sandalwood, Neroli, Green Tea)
Safety Note: Always place your candle on a flat, open surface — away from curtains, fans, and enclosed spots like shelves. Avoid flammable areas or unstable bases. Smart placement means better fragrance flow and total safety.
Important tip: Watch out for candles that claim “premium soy wax” at low prices. Many use cheap wax blends or poor fragrance oils — which burn fast, smell weak, or release smoke.
At SixtyScent, we only use 100% natural soy wax and clean, safe fragrance oils that burn slow, smell incredible, and keep your space soot-free.
