It seems that everyone loves scented candles. Since the late eighties and particularly in the last decade there has been an enormous increase in demand for scented candles, so much so that it is estimated that the home fragrance industry – of which scented candles form by far the biggest part - is now worth in excess of £2 billion globally. The visual and sensory appeal of scented candles has much to do with this surge in popularity, with manufacturers vying to provide candles in the widest range of fragrances and designs. After all there are few things nicer after a hard day’s work than to come home, light up a candle (or two) and relax as your home is filled with delicious aromas.
