What candle scent is best for romance

Nothing says romance quite like the gentle flicker of candlelight.

What is the perfect romantic candle to set the right mood on your next date night in?

Consider both personality and the scent in general. Whether you want to unwind, celebrate or spice things up, there’s a candle scent for you.
