The Emotional Connection Between Scents and Memories
There’s a reason why a whiff of lavender can transport you to childhood bedtime routines or the smell of fresh roses can remind you of your grandmother’s garden. Scent has a powerful link to memory and emotions, making candles one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give on Mother’s Day.
A beautifully crafted candle doesn’t just provide a relaxing ambiance—it creates lasting memories through fragrance. Here’s why candles make the perfect Mother’s Day gift and how to choose the right one for your mum.
