aromatherapy candle

Fragrant wax cylinder

An aromatherapy candle is a candle infused with essential oils or fragrant compounds intended to produce therapeutic effects when burned.

The scents—lavender for relaxation, eucalyptus for clarity, citrus for energy—are claimed to influence mood or well-being.

Whether the benefits are real or placebo, aromatherapy candles are popular for creating ambient atmosphere: She lit an aromatherapy candle before her bath.
