We all have particular scents that we love, whether they’re floral aromas that call to mind the great outdoors, tropical notes that whisk us away to a seaside resort, or seasonal favorites that make us want to curl up with a good book.
Lavender is a beloved scent for many people, and it works incredibly well on its own, but it’s also one of the best scents for blending as it can be complemented by many other fragrances. Our Lavender Fields candle at Penn & Beech is the perfect starting point for a unique and alluring scent profile.
What Lavender Smells Like
Lavender originates from Europe and Asia and is comprised of 47 species within the mints family. Known for its violet or purple hue, lavender has been used for centuries in decorative arrangements, cooking, and scent creation.
It has a soft, subtle, and sweet smell that combines floral, woodsy, herbal, smokey, and powdery notes. These elements combine to create a fresh and pleasant bouquet that fits many occasions.
Creating a Scent Profile with a Lavender Fields Candle
When blending a scent, one approach to consider is accounting for the varied scent notes of individual fragrances. Notes can be divided into the classes of top, middle, and base, and different aromas fall into specific categories.
-
Top notes – These are scents which tend to have a fresh and pleasing smell. Many citrus and floral fragrances fall within this category, including orange, lime, eucalyptus, bergamot, peppermint, and lemongrass.
- Middle notes – Fragrances of this type are ideal for creating the body of a complete scent profile’s blend, pulling all other aromas together. Some middle note possibilities include rosemary, sage, neroli, geranium, chamomile, and more.
- Base notes – These notes are defined by their depth and warmth, giving a fuller body to a scent profile and helping it to last. Some examples include sandalwood, myrrh, cedar, jasmine, patchouli, and frankincense.
The Lavender Fields aroma itself is considered a middle note scent, so it is an ideal starting point when you are crafting a unique aroma. It can be merged with top and base notes, but can also accompany other select middle notes to create a full and lush fragrance you’ll love burning in your space.
Lavender Fields Pairing Possibilities
While there are a range of scents you can pair with a Lavender Fields candle, some options you might want to consider include:
- Combining it with top notes like eucalyptus, peppermint, or lemongrass, or using more than one option, to create a fresh and arresting aroma to fill your space
- Blending it with other middle notes like rosemary or sage for a serene
- Pairing it with base notes like jasmine or cedar to transport yourself to a vernal wood, or combining it with frankincense and myrrh to create a delectable Christmas scent profile
- Using it as the central middle note of a range of scents, then including your choice of top note and base note for a full-bodied fragrance
