15 Scented Candles to Make Your Room Smell Like a Spa

If you’ve just watched the haunting yet intriguing movie Perfume, you’re probably a recently converted fragrance enthusiast. The story revolved around a man’s obsession with capturing and creating the “perfect” scent. His passion would’ve been inspiring (minus the haunting elements) had he not taken the road of murder and violence. In a way, we can all probably agree on this: there’s a very passionate person in constant search of the perfect scent in all of us. 

Of course, our senses are equally important, and it’s human nature to desire everything that satisfies it. For instance, we fulfil our olfactory sense through perfumes, scented candles, essential oils, and even nature. The good thing is, no one has to go way out of line like Jean-Baptise Grenouille. But all kidding aside, we decided to make a list of some of the best scented candles in the Philippines to add to your carts. Keep reading to find out where to shop for relaxing, calming, and amazing-smelling scents guaranteed to give you a spa-ntastic day!
