One segment of an abstract candle, this one is fashioned like a heart. As Valentine’s Day approaches, our thoughts have gone to love and passion, and what could be more enticing than the soft glow of scented candles as they flicker? Nowadays, a romantic evening at home includes not just champagne, roses, and Barry White, but also candlelight.
How you frame things makes all the difference.
The term “bedroom eyes” may seem familiar. Pupil dilation is a reliable indicator that a person finds another attractive. This has the additional consequence of increasing the other person’s attraction to the first. It’s a subtle indication of your shared attraction to one another. Low-level lighting, such that from candles, causes dilated pupils as a duplicate of these vital signals. Candles have long been connected with feelings of love and passion, and although this may sound more scientific than romantic, it is simple to see why.
The soft lighting makes you feel at ease.
The human eye is quite attuned to changes in brightness, and when this decreases, it typically indicates that darkness is drawing near. Therefore, when we are exposed to less light, we naturally begin to wind down, which may help us feel more relaxed. It’s far easier to put yourself in a romantic mood if you’re not rushing or under pressure. You should try not to go to sleep too early if you have a date night planned. For love drawing you need to have the right products.
Making it a more intimate atmosphere
The range of a candle’s illumination is limited by its physical form. When you and another person are in a room with no other sources of light save candles, it’s easy to create your own little cosmos. Candlelight dinners are the pinnacle of romantic nights because the soft light creates the illusion of a more intimate atmosphere. Restaurants have refined this tactic by separating their eating spaces into many smaller sections. Light a candle and dim the lights on Valentine’s Day to hide the mundane trappings of everyday life (such the laundry basket next to the bed or the shaggy dog blanket by the fireplace) from your significant other. The result will be a cosier setting.
A gauge of one’s sense of confidence
Let’s be honest: few of us thrive in surroundings with plenty of light (or lux). Most of us feel more at ease and confident when we’re not standing in the harsh glare of an overhead light, and this effect is amplified by candlelight.
Spice up the meal a little.
We are also highly attuned to smells, so if you add a scent to the candle, it may be more appealing to the observer. Try our Amber Noir candle, which has a perfume that is clearly more mature, or our White Patchouli & Clove candle, which has floral and spicy overtones. With its heady blend of aromatic rich fruits and rose, our Black Pomegranate candle is a certain hit for those looking for pure romance. If you plan on using candles to illuminate your dinner, it’s probably best to hold off on lighting the scented candles until after dessert.
