Scent Memory vs. CandleScience: How to Choose the Perfect Candle Scents

In the world of candle making, there are brands that become more than just suppliers. For me, two absolute favorites are Scent Memory and CandleScience.

⸻

Scent Memory — Niche Luxury

Scent Memory is my recent discovery and it was love at first scent. These are niche, premium-quality fragrances: complex, layered, and sophisticated. They often resemble high-end perfumery and always create a special atmosphere.

But they require a careful approach — such scents are bold and unique, so I always recommend starting with samples to find the one that truly fits your vision.

I chose Scent Memory for my Bold Los Angeles Candle Collection — their fragrances perfectly capture the style, mood, and character of the city.

CandleScience — Universal Favorite

CandleScience is my reliable go-to. Almost every fragrance here is a crowd-pleaser — from cozy vanilla and coffee to fresh citrus and greenery.

These scents are familiar, easy to love, and perfect for everyday candles.

I use CandleScience for my sculptural candles and for collections where versatility and recognizability are key.

My Recommendation

— If you want a “wow” effect and individuality — choose Scent Memory fragrances.

— If you need timeless classics that appeal to most people — go for CandleScience.

📌 If you create multiple collections, simply split their use: CandleScience for mass and core lines, Scent Memory for limited editions and premium pieces.

💡 This way, you can please different customers — some will love the approachable, quality classics, others will be drawn to the exclusive, character-filled scents.
