Scientific studies have proven that of all the senses, the sense of smell is most linked to emotion and memory. Think about it, I bet you can remember going into a home that had an elegant candle burning or a delicious dessert cooking, a boutique hotel’s exotic scent that transported you right into vacation mode, or perhaps a home that could’ve used a candle. When entertaining, it is important to remember that the smell of your home could make a long lasting impression on your guests- Why, you ask? Because the part of the brain that controls the sense of smell is imbedded in the area that controls memory formation….
Ready for some candles now? Here are some of my favorites:
A good stash of candles prepares you be guest ready and ready to be a guest- great hostess gift idea too.
Totally agree, you definitely want your home smelling nice at all times, but especially when entertaining. Thanks for sharing some candles I hadn’t heard of!

Real Estate agents will some times place Vanila Extract in a low heat oven. It reminds people of of home made cookies.
Smart idea! Thanks, Don!
