It's true. The nose knows and the perfume of a scented candle is an immediate signal that the hard work is over. Scented candles can be overwhelming, but a candle that smells like a garden is simply evocative. Think of the gardener's favorite flower or a plant that they anxiously await ripening or maturing and zero in on that scent. Two of my favorites are:
- Lavender, Lemongrass & Orange, Tangerine & Lavender Essential Oil Aromatherapy Candles
These Aromatherapy candles from PlantLife are made of a mix of natural, clean burning waxes and 100% pure essentail oils. They really do smell as close as you’re going to get to the real thing. Tempt with Lavender, Lemongrass & Orange or Tangerine & Lavender. 72 hr. total burn time. That’s a lot of relaxing.

Or maybe your gardener prefers the crisp, spicy scent of apple slices. This is another clean burning soy candle, but instead of drifting off into a lavender induced reverie, they’ll have an invigorating snap of apple. (Compare Prices)
Scent is such a strong mood altering sense, just having the perfume of one of these candles wafting from your gift basket is sure to make it well received.
