Spring Inspiration

The changing seasons always bring a shift in mood, atmosphere, and even scent preferences. As the world outside transforms, so do the fragrances we crave. Candle companies, including my favorites, embrace this cycle by launching new collections that capture the essence of each season.

Spring is all about renewal and freshness. After the heavy, cozy scents of winter, people gravitate toward light florals, fresh herbs, and airy citrus notes. Citrus notes like lemon, bergamot, and grapefruit add a bright, cleansing energy. These scents symbolize a fresh start, much like opening the windows for the first time in months or deep-cleaning a home to shake off winter’s heaviness. They feel crisp, revitalizing, and full of possibility.

Herbal and green scents, such as mint, basil, and freshly cut grass, bring a sense of renewal. They remind me of new growth—of tiny sprouts breaking through the soil and the world turning lush again. There’s something grounding about these earthy, plant-based aromas, as if they connect us to nature’s cycle of rebirth.

Spring isn’t just about the physical changes in nature—it’s also about personal renewal. It’s a time for new routines, fresh goals, and a mindset shift toward possibility. Lighting a spring-scented candle can feel like an intentional way to welcome this transition, filling a space with the essence of fresh starts and reminding us that, like nature, we too can bloom again.
