We all have that one candle scent we reach for without even thinking. Whether it’s sweet vanilla, crisp eucalyptus, or deep sandalwood, your go-to fragrance does more than fill a room—it speaks to who you are.
At Affinati, we believe scent is personal. It's memory, mood, and identity—all in one flicker of a flame. So what does your favorite candle scent say about you? Let’s find out.

🧠Why Scents Matter
Scent is directly linked to the limbic system—the part of the brain tied to memory and emotion. That’s why a single fragrance can make you feel safe, energized, or transported in an instant.
So next time you light your favorite candle, know that you’re not just setting a mood—you’re expressing who you are.
