Gift-giving is just one of the ways we let our partners know we love them, whether it’s with flowers, a nice bottle of wine, or a sweet stuffed animal that appeals to their inner child. Thanks to their many benefits, candles are an exceptionally great way to convey your affection.
The best candles for him appeal to his senses, suit his aesthetics, and brighten his space just the way he likes it.
Candles Are the Ultimate Gift
Ideally, a romantic gift should do several things, including warm his heart, make him smile, benefit his health, and even have practical uses. And what does all of the above? Candles for him!
Candles are gender neutral
Candles are a gender-neutral gift that anyone can enjoy, thanks to the variety of colours and scents available. While in the past, some may have believed candles are only suited for women, men enjoy pleasing fragrances and warm light just as much as anyone.
Candles help relieve stress
Scented candles have several therapeutic benefits; they decrease stress, relax your mind, and stimulate the release of serotonin and dopamine. By giving him candles, you also give him these positive health impacts, showing how much you care for his well-being.
Candles help set the mood
Whether you’re planning a romantic evening or working on your hygge setup, scented candles for him are excellent for setting the mood. They smell good and are a great source of ambient light. Their natural glow can also help you relax before tucking in for the night.
Boy Smells: What Scents Do Men Like?
While anyone can appreciate any fragrance, some particularly appeal to many men. At the top of that list are earthy forest scents with undertones of musk and pine. These smells can summon nostalgia for the wilderness of childhood, stimulating dopamine release.
Men appreciate other earthly scents that can boost their mood, like the salt of the ocean, the mushroom kiss of oak moss, the oily soapiness of leather, and the subtle sweetness of wood. The unmistakable smell of petrichor can conjure memories of rainy days.
Smoky aromas are also popular among men, especially with sweet notes like vanilla. Think of the smell of a humidor full of fine cigars or the aroma that wafts from an old-school tobacco pipe. The contrast is stimulating to the senses.
Certain food smells also please male noses, such as the uplifting zest of fresh citrus, the caramel nuttiness of coffee, the amber booziness of bourbon, and the summer smokiness of a grill.
All of these fragrances can be replicated nicely in scented candles for him.
The Best Candles for Him
If you’re looking for the best candles for him, pairing a scent he enjoys with a quote that reminds him of your love is the perfect gift. You’ll stimulate his eyes with the gentle light, his nose with the pleasing fragrance, and his heart with the romantic words.
