About this scented candles
Yankee Candle MidSummer's Night Scented Candle, 22oz Large Jar
Research in environmental psychology shows that specific scents activate immediate emotional responses. Lavender reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), vanilla increases feelings of comfort, citrus improves alertness and focus. Using a candle warmer lamp with intentionally chosen fragrances is a simple way to influence your mood through your environment.
Morning (get going): bergamot, peppermint, lemon, eucalyptus. Afternoon work session: cedarwood, sandalwood — neutral notes that don't distract. Evening relaxation: lavender, white musk, vanilla. Before sleep: chamomile, neroli, ylang-ylang.
Consistency creates association: the brain learns to shift mood when it encounters a familiar scent in a familiar context. This is the same mechanism used by high-end hotels and spas. Pairing the same candle with the same activity (morning coffee, evening reading, yoga session) anchors the scent to that habit within days.
The nose adapts quickly to continuous exposure — after a few days with the same scent, you'll stop noticing it consciously. Rotating fragrances every 1–2 weeks keeps the olfactory system engaged and each scent feeling fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this candle in a candle warmer lamp?
Yes. Place the jar candle under the lamp shade; the bulb's heat melts the top layer of wax and releases the fragrance without a flame. This also makes the candle last roughly twice as long as burning with a wick.
How long will the fragrance last?
With open-flame burning, approximately 25–40 hours for a standard 22 oz jar. Used in a candle warmer lamp, the same candle may last 60–90+ hours because the lower melt temperature consumes wax more slowly.
Is the wax natural or synthetic?
Check the product listing for wax composition details. Candles labelled "soy", "coconut", or "natural wax" use plant-derived ingredients; "paraffin" is petroleum-derived. All types work well in candle warmer lamps.
How do I light it correctly?
Trim the wick to 5mm before the first lighting and after each use. On first lighting, keep the candle burning until the entire surface is liquid (usually 1–2 hours) to avoid tunnelling on future uses.
