Fresh Spring Scents: 5 Candles for Brighter Days

The days are getting longer, the windows are opening and the garden is waking up. Spring is the perfect time to put away the heavier winter scents and bring in something lighter, brighter and fresher. Here are five Luzara candles that feel like spring in Australia.

1. Daintree

Bergamot and green leaves open fresh and bright, followed by jasmine, sage and lavender, with oakmoss, water and cedarwood underneath. A green, floral and woody fragrance for bringing a little rainforest atmosphere home. Shop Daintree

2. Adelaide Lemon Myrtle

Bright native lemon myrtle with a clean lift of eucalyptus. It's the scent of an Adelaide morning and freshens a room without ever overpowering it - lovely in a kitchen or home office. Shop Adelaide Lemon Myrtle

3. Fleurieu Olive & Thyme

Bergamot and fresh lime, olive leaf and lemon thyme, finished with white rose and sandalwood. Herbal, savoury and wonderfully different from the usual sweet candle, it's made for long spring lunches and slow Sunday mornings. Shop Fleurieu Olive & Thyme

4. Hindmarsh Island Sage & Sea Salt

Our home in a candle. Bergamot, citrus peel, sea salt and beach sage lead into eucalyptus, jasmine and lavender, with sea grass, white cedar, amber, rosewood and musk at the base. Fresh, coastal and quietly grounding. Shop Hindmarsh Island Sage & Sea Salt

5. Nurture

Citrus peel, magnolia and bergamot meet sandalwood, jasmine and lily, with chiffon musk, sugared vanilla, vetiver and amber at the base. A soft floral and woody choice for the gentler side of spring. Shop Nurture

A little spring tip

Lighter, fresher scents shine in smaller spaces and well-ventilated rooms. Try pairing a zesty candle in the morning with something softer, like Nurture, in the evening.
