The most popular candle scents tend to be flower-based, floral fragrances or woodsy, botanical fragrances.  Candle fragrances drawn from foods and spices like  vanilla, cinnamon, apple pie and apple spice are also increasingly popular, and choosing the candle fragrance that's right for you depends upon both your style and your preference.

Bright, clean sea shell, vanilla or fresh linen scents, for example, work very well with clean, contemporary interiors. Pale blue, white, ivory or pastel scented candle colors  can give depth and dimension to a fragrant candle display.
