It’s that time of year when the ritual of spring cleaning invites us to start afresh by decluttering and reorganizing our living spaces. After a day spent clearing out the old, dusting off forgotten corners, and giving your home a thorough cleanse, nothing encapsulates the essence of a clean and refreshed abode quite like the act of lighting a soothing, aromatic candle. Indeed, few things in life are more satisfying than the sense of accomplishment and peace derived from the ritual of lighting a scented candle after changing your bed sheets to crisp, freshly laundered linens that snap crisply into place and carefully wiping down each book and trinket on your shelf. The right candle can elevate this moment, casting a warm, inviting glow that transforms your home into a serene sanctuary. With fragrances that capture the essence of spring—be it the floral notes of blooming gardens, the clean freshness of linen, or the earthy scent of rain-soaked soil, below, the 10 best scented candles to freshen up your home this spring.
