Spring is when I start craving lighter scents, and these Linnea’s Lights new spring candles fit the mood well. Three new fragrances arrived for the season, and here is how each one behaves and where it works best.
I love Spring! It’s one of my favorite seasons. Bright, beautiful colors.
Clean air. Optimism. Everything is fresh, new and full of potential.
I also love the fragrances the arrive in the spring. Delicate florals. Dewy grass. Clean water.
Linnea’s Lights created 3 new fragrances to celebrate the arrival of spring: Persian Lime, Eucalyptus and Geranium. Each fragrance is distinct and on-point, as are all the scented soy wax candles by Linnea’s Lights.
Persian Lime
Effervescent citrus blend of tart lime, grapefruit and vetiver. I’m not usually a fan of lime fragrances, but this one is wonderful! The grapefruit really comes through for me and creates a great citrus blend. I highly recommend the Linnea’s Lights Lime candle if you like lime, grapefruit or other citrus fragrances.
This candle would blend well with other citrus scents such as Linnea’s Lights Grapefruit, Aura Clairvoyant or Nest Grapefruit. Linnea’s Lights Persian Lime would work very well in a kitchen or bathroom for a fresh scent.
Eucalyptus
Cool eucalyptus warmed with pacific woods and fresh air. I love this eucalyptus candle by Linnea’s Lights. It’s very well balanced with fresh eucalyptus and soft woods. Sometimes eucalyptus can be very medicinal (think Vick’s Vapor Rub) with a strong menthol scent, but this one is slightly muted by the soft woods without losing the essence of eucalyptus.
This candle is very unisex and would work well for men and women. Great for bathrooms.
Geranium
Soft rose geranium blended with uplifting bergamot and clary sage. I love Rose Geranium and this candle is a fantastic representation of this beautiful scent. It’s cheerful, uplifting, youthful and vibrant. Linnea’s Lights Rose Geranium would blend well with another rose candle or a grapefruit or bergamot candle to compliment the notes in this fragrance.
This bright floral would work well in just about any room. Other candles I would recommend to go with this one would be Votivo Rush of Rose, Aura Clairvoyant, Linnea’s Lights Grapefruit and/or Tocca Florence.
These new fragrances offer a great opportunity to try Linnea’s Lights candles if you haven’t already. Whether you like citrus, floral or neutral tones you’ll be able to find the scent to suit your preference and mood. You can’t go wrong with any of these three new scents or any of the other scented candles by Linnea’s Lights.
What is your favorite spring fragrance?
Choosing among the Linnea’s Lights new spring candles
If you like clean and zesty, start with Persian Lime. If you want something calming that works for everyone in the house, Eucalyptus is the safer pick. If flowers are your thing, Geranium is the one.
The three Linnea’s Lights new spring candles are different enough that you could burn them in separate rooms without them fighting each other. Lime in the kitchen, Eucalyptus in the bathroom and Geranium wherever you like to sit and read would make a nice spring rotation.
All of these Linnea’s Lights new spring candles are scented soy wax candles, which is part of why this brand is a comfortable place to start if you have not tried it. For more on the maker, read the story in Linnea’s Light Candles: Behind the Brand.
Mixing and layering your Linnea’s Lights new spring candles
I mentioned a few pairings above, and the idea is simple: match like with like. Citrus goes well with citrus, rose with bergamot, and so on. When one note in a candle echoes a note in another, the blend feels intentional.
Try lighting one candle at a time at first, then add a second after a while. That lets you notice what each one brings. If the mix gets too loud, snuff one of them out and the room settles quickly.
We go into this in more detail in our guide to layering candle fragrances. And if you want more ideas for the season, take a look at 6 scents for spring.
Caring for your Linnea’s Lights new spring candles
The Linnea’s Lights new spring candles burn best when you let them melt evenly across the top on the first burn. Trim the wick before every use, and keep the flame out of drafts and away from open windows, which are more tempting in spring.
Fresh scents like these Linnea’s Lights new spring candles can seem to fade faster than heavy ones, simply because you stop noticing them. If you feel a candle has gone quiet, leave the room for a few minutes and come back. You may find it is working fine.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, flowers and pets. If you would like some background on how these products are made and used, the Wikipedia article on scented candles is a good overview.
