Choosing the right candle isn’t just about fragrance — it’s about feeling. Whether you want to calm your mind, boost your energy, or bring a little magic to your home, your candle should reflect that. At Soja, every candle is infused with a crystal and crafted with intention — so finding your match is all about what speaks to you.
Here are 5 expert tips to help you choose the perfect candle — one that supports your mood, your energy, and your space.
1. Think About How You Want to Feel
Do you want to feel calm and relaxed? Energised and uplifted? Grounded and protected? Start by tuning into the vibe you’re looking to create.
🕯️ Try this:
– Need calm? Try Relax – Japanese Honeysuckle + Amethyst
– Seeking focus? Go with Energise – Green Chai + Bloodstone
2. Trust Your Nose (and Your Gut)
Sometimes, your favourite scent chooses you. Don’t overthink it — if you're drawn to something floral, woody, or citrusy, lean into it. Scent is personal, and often your body knows what it needs.
3. Choose by Intention (Crystal Energy)
Each Soja candle includes a crystal that supports a specific intention — from abundance and confidence to clarity and emotional release. If you’re drawn to a certain energy or goal, choose a candle with that crystal to amplify it.
✨ Looking for clarity? Try Cleanse – Lime & Sea Salt + Clear Quartz
4. Match It to the Space
A cozy bedroom might call for a softer floral, while a kitchen or office might feel better with something clean and zesty. Think about how the scent will work with the energy of the space.
5. Try Before You Buy (Yes, Really)
Not sure where to start? Try our Fragrance Library — 10 mini room sprays (10ml) with the same oils and crystals as our full-size candles. It’s the perfect way to sample every scent before committing.
💡 Final Tip: Go With What Feels Right
At the end of the day, your candle should bring you joy. Whether it's the scent, the crystal, or the ritual — let it be something that feels like home.
