The Best Spring Scented Candles To Refresh Your Home
Fill your home with renewed energy and positivity this spring with our curated selection of fresh and floral fragrances. We’ve picked our favourite scented candles for spring to awaken your indoor spaces and lift your mood.
Rejoice! The sun has got his hat on and spring is here. Perhaps this year more than ever, you’ve noticed the shift of the seasons on your daily walks – the flowers bursting into bloom, the budding leaves on once bare branches, the renewed energy of chirping birds – it all feels a little magical.
Here at Osmology, we love embracing the changing seasons and using scent within our spaces to reconnect. Spring is a great time to renew your senses by adding new fragrances into your home.
What are spring scents?
Spring fragrances are all about celebrating nature and welcoming the new season. It almost goes without saying that floral scents are incredibly popular, helped by the enormous variation of flowers Mother Nature has created for us to enjoy. Adding a touch of Nordic Rose or Japanese Cherry Tree blossom to your home at the start of springtime is a beautiful way to enhance your spaces.
Fresh fragrances such as the smell of cut grass tend to evoke childhood memories of spring and finally being able to play outside after the long winter hibernation. Rain inspired scents are also popular thanks to their refreshing nature – not unlike April showers on warm days.

If you’re a candle aficionado like Kelly Conaboy from The Cut, you should definitely check out the Tomb of Eagles candle by D.S. & Durga which according to Kelly “smells like warm, creamy sea, which maybe doesn’t sound great, but please trust me that it is. It’s interesting and relaxed and very cool.”
