It’s been more than a year since the pandemic. We have been on house arrest and grounded in our homes. Because of that we are spending much more time in our homes than usual. Now having a relaxing space in your house is paramount, something that is warm and welcoming. We may have underestimated the power of having a fragrant smell in our home. Keeping in mind that; we spend the majority of our time inside so we need to make sure that our house smells amazing with scented candles. 


We all know about fruity-floral scent-bombs that create a special feeling. However, men's candles are much more than floral bombs. The world of candles has progressed, and there are various candles; based on your days, mood, feelings, seasons, etc. There are endless options to choose from, from masculine to feminine.

However, a driftwood candle is not just about vanilla and it's sweet smell. The combination of classic vanilla and rich amber with the ending notes of sandalwood and musk is all you need to convey your mixed emotion. When in doubt, light driftwood.
