If you need a vacation:
Try: William Roam Roam Candle, $36
You're dying to put up your OOO, but there's not a beach (or an hour of spare vacation time) in sight. Well, at the very least you can pretend you're on vacation with the right candle. Once lit, this light and airy scent comes alive with strong notes of white florals. White flowers — gardenias especially — alleviate stress and enhance relaxation, making you feel like you're lounging poolside in the Caribbean (even if you're just curled up on the couch in your living room).
If you need a mood boost:
Try: Hope Fragrances Scented Candle, $50
Bad breakup? Feeling like you'll never build the career you want? Just like the name implies, this aromatic floral candle gives you hope. Lily of the valley, jasmine, gardenia and tuberose combine to create a crisp, fresh scent that'll wake up your senses and increase optimism, ultimately opening yourself up to new experiences, opportunities, and attitudes.
If you're seeking energy:
Try: Taja Collection Candle, $45.50
Sometimes, you wake up ready to hit the mat — and other times, you simply can't be bothered. Allow this candle to step in as your a.m. cheerleader. Perfect for your early morning yoga or meditation session, this scent by TAJA Collection has notes of spicy ginger and soothing citrus. Ginger, in particular, is known for giving your body a burst of energy, which makes this scented candle a great option for rainy days or long nights at the office. Choose the candle style that best fits your aesthetic to get your zen on (we're particularly fond of the Good Vibes Only option).
If you're feeling stressed AF:
Try: Laura Ashley Fresh Linen and Jasmine Scented Candle, $26
Ah, stress: can't live with it, can't live without it. However, stress can impact everything from our productivity at work to our performance in the bedroom and the vitality of our pores — so keeping it in check is absolutely key. Luckily for us all, jasmine is a great natural way to nix angst. This gold beauty by Laura Ashley turns any space — workspaces, especially — into a stress-free oasis, thanks to its unique blend of crisp linen and fresh jasmine.
If you need to concentrate:
Try: Home'edged Focus No.1 Candle, $39
Before you hunker down to study, do work — or, dare we say, get your taxes in order — light this oakmoss, musk, and citrusy melon candle. All three scents serve a different purpose: Oakmoss wakes up your brain, musk makes you feel comfortable, and citrus invigorates you. Together, they activate your brain and help you focus on the work in front of you.
