Give your personal space an alluring fragrance that’ll get you mind and body to relax with all these branded scented candles that are both potent and affordable.
Multiple studies have shown that smell, one of the five senses, has a direct effect on your thoughts, memory, mood, and even your body. A good example of this being put into a more practical setting is Aromatherapy, the science of using aromatic materials like essential oils to improve psychological and physical well-being.
That is why aromatic products like smelling salts, menthols, incense sticks, and scented candles have become an essential item in many households, especially when one needs to relax the body and mind within the comfort of their home.
If you're thinking about joining the aromatherapy club, but not quite sure what kind of incense to buy or fragrance to try, we recommend starting with the scented candles.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of 7 scented candles from different local and international brands of under 1,900 THB that allows you to enjoy the tranquility without having to break the bank. Let’s now go see what we’ve got in store for you!
