What’s the Essence and Personality of Your Business?

Something that is important to note before getting a candle, or multiple candles, for your business is the true essence of who your company is. Does your company have a playful side, is it serious, or is it subtle and cute? These are some things to think about before you buy. This will help you to determine the type of scent profile you would like to go for!

What Are Your Main Offerings?

What your business offers is something that can help you to find out more about what your candle should smell like. If you own a small, local bakery, going the sweeter route is perfect! If you manage or work in a law firm, you may want to go a more clean or sophisticated route. But, the world is your oyster, and that’s one of the best parts about candles that are uniquely made for you.

What Does Your Staff Like? 

Whether you have a big or small team, making sure that you are all in agreement on the candle is something that is important! You want everyone to feel like their opinion matters! If there are different opinions on scents, pouring candles and making a custom scent that everyone can appreciate is a great way to solve the issue!

What Are the Options?

Certain scents may be exclusive to certain areas, but there are wide ranges that can be found just about anywhere from candle shops to candle pouring bars. If you have a spa, aromatherapy scents like lavender, peppermint, bergamot, and eucalyptus are great picks for relaxation and serenity. Back to the law firm, fresh linen, woods, and cologne-style scents will fit the serious nature of this business. And for a local bakery, vanilla, sugar, and dessert-like scents will be the perfect match!

Scents are extremely personal and are a great way to encapsulate who you, your team, and your business are. Once you have the essence and personality of your business down, know the scents that your staff likes, and the options that are available to you through local candle pouring or candle shops, you have the perfect recipe for the best smelling, uniquely-you candle! If you’re interested in getting a custom candle or a candle that embodies your business, make sure to check out your local candle pouring bars or candle shops and have fun with it!
