Fragrance Library

Welcome to the Scentual Candles Fragrance Library, a growing collection of fragrance ingredients used in candles and perfumes. From familiar favourites like lavender, jasmine and sandalwood to lesser-known ingredients such as vetiver, benzoin and buddha wood, this library has been created to help you better understand the scents behind every fragrance.

Every ingredient includes an image, information about where it comes from, what it smells like and how it is used in modern fragrance creation. Whether you're exploring a candle's fragrance notes or simply curious about an ingredient you've never heard of, you'll find clear, factual information without the confusing technical jargon.

Understanding fragrance ingredients can make choosing a candle much easier. If you come across an unfamiliar note while browsing our candles, simply return to the Fragrance Library to learn more about it. Our aim is to create a useful reference that helps you explore the fascinating world of fragrance with confidence. Browse our Candle Scents
