Keep the spark alive this Valentine’s Day…

is Valentine’s Day even Valentine’s Day without a house full of candles? Well choosing which candle – and which scent – is even more important now we’re all stuck indoors as different scents can encourage different emotions and feelings.

And we all need a little bit of love right now, so scented candle and wax melt favourites Ava May Aromas has pulled together its top favourite scents which will help create the perfect atmosphere while at home this Valentine’s Day.

Set the scene with Dark Opium

Inspired by YSL’s Black Opium, this scent is deliciously intense. Combining punchy notes from coffee and pink pepper, sweetness from vanilla and comfort from patchouli and jasmine along with orange blossom and cedarwood, a mysteriously seductive scent is formed. Perfect if you want to skip starters and get straight to second base!

Get loved up with Life is Beautiful

A light and airy scent inspired by Lancome’s La Vie Est Belle, this elegant mix of florals is balanced with sharper notes of patchouli and praline combined to create a beautiful feminine scent. A gorgeous background scent as you snuggle up on the sofa to watch your favourite romantic film.

Pretend you’re on holiday with Sea Shells

How many of us wish we were on a romantic getaway right now? Well, this exotic fragrance will transport you and your partner to a desert island with its notes of warming coconut and soothing vanilla and almond. Inspired by White Company’s Seychelles, a spritz of orange lifts the amber notes and finishes with the uplifting bergamot.

The firm, which was founded by 25-year-old Hannah Chapman two years ago and has now sold almost half a billion wax melts, has also just released its first-ever Valentine’s Day gift box – and it’s beautiful!
Priced at £30, the limited-edition ‘I Love You’ box contains a gorgeous heart wax melt burner, a room spray, one tea light pack and three wax melts – all in a scent of your choic
