We all know how certain scents immediately conjure up certain
images in our heads. Fresh baked cookies or bread, the first
spring rain, freshly cut grass-all of these scents bring sharp
images and emotions to our minds. This works, too, when it
comes to your love life. A perfect night, enveloped in a perfect
scent, may forever conjure up fond memories in your mind whenever
you sense that particular aroma.
The reason for this is that smell affects the areas of your
brain that projects feelings and perceptions. Interestingly,
just as almost everyone can relate to and appreciate the scents
mentioned above-really, who doesn't like the smell of chocolate
chip cookies baking in the oven?-certain scents overwhelmingly
appeal to men and women when it comes to the romance department.
Scent is so important that Dr. Alan Hirsch, director of the
Smell and Taste Research Foundation, says, "Your first
impression is to a large degree based on smell. So we talk
about love at first sight, we really should be talking about
love at first sniff."
The ideal way to set up your romantic evening is with scented
candles that will send subtle hints of your favorite smells
throughout your entire home. And the top romantic scents are
...
Cinnamon.
"The smell of baked cinnamon buns had a greater affect
than all the perfumes," says Dr. Hirsch of one of his
scent studies that involved 100 men. Pumpkin pie was also
a big hit.
Vanilla.
Though it may be the plainest flavor when it comes to ice
cream, it seems neither men nor women can resist the smell
of vanilla. It's soothing, comforting and oh-so-sweet, which
may explain why vanilla is often the top-selling fragrance
when it comes to bath care products and home fragrances.
Black Licorice Sweets. Women appear to love sweet
scents when it comes to men. In Dr. Hirsch's study, women
loved the smell of Good N' Plenty candy-the black licorice
variety (and another sweet treat: banana nut bread).
Lavender.
This, along with vanilla and baby powder, is one of the three
most calming scents in the United States. It's great for relaxing,
releasing muscle tension and having a soothing night.

Ylang
Ylang.
This scent has long been used as an aphrodisiac because of
its soothing, mood-lifting effects.
Oranges.
An essential oil known as neroli, which is composed of orange
blossom, is one of the oldest aphrodisiacs around. It has
been used since Egyptian times for arousal and uplifting moods.
Jasmine.
This floral and woody scent creates an old-fashioned romantic
feeling that many women (and men) adore.
No matter what scent you choose, it's hard to resist the
ambiance created by the warm scent of a glowing candle. Fragrance
oils, body lotions and body sprays are other options, but
none of those can offer the dim, romantic light that a few
carefully placed candles can.
Try out a new scent this year, and see the difference for
yourself. As Dr. Hirsch said, "Smell is a pure emotional
sense.''
Candle Safety
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
-
Always place candle on a heat resistant surface.
In order to keep candles burning and looking great, keep
them away from direct sunlight. This prevents discoloration
and disfigurement.
-
Do not burn candles near a draft, such as a fan or vent.
(Air currents cause the flame to burn the sides of the
candle unevenly.)
-
Keep wicks trimmed to 1/4-inch to prevent uneven burning
or dripping.
-
Remember to burn pillar candles long enough the first
time so that the wax melts to the rim. This will ensure
even burning every time you light your candle.
-
Pillar candles should be burned one hour for every inch
of their diameter. As a candle burns down, fold the edges
inward.
-
Never burn a candle on or near anything flammable.
-
Always use a proper candleholder.
