Scented candles to add fragrance and atmosphere at home

Bring fragrance into living rooms, bedrooms and other suitable spaces with scented candles that suit the atmosphere you want to create. From fresh and floral fragrances to fruity, sweet, earthy and spice-inspired scents, different fragrance families can change the character of a room. Kmart's range also includes soy candles in different vessels and sizes, making it easy to choose a scent for everyday moments, entertaining or gifting. Always read and follow the safety and burning instructions supplied with your candle before use.

Choose a scented candle by fragrance

Start with the types of scents you naturally enjoy. Floral scented candles can bring flower-inspired notes into a room, while fresh scented candles are another option when you prefer a different fragrance profile.

You can also explore fruity, sweet, earthy and spice-inspired candles depending on your preferences. Rather than using several competing fragrances together, try choosing one main fragrance for the space and letting it become part of the room's atmosphere.

Style scented candles around your home

Scented candles can double as decorative accents when they're not in use. Glass jars, ceramic vessels and different colours can add another detail to coffee tables, consoles and shelves. Look at the colours and materials already used across your home décor when choosing a candle you plan to keep on display.

Safe placement should always come before styling. Follow the individual candle's instructions and warnings, keep burning candles on a suitable stable surface and maintain the clearances specified by the product. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Explore soy candles and other home fragrance options

If you're looking for a particular wax type, browse soy candles and check the individual product information for fragrance, size, materials and use instructions. Candle sizes and burn guidance can vary, so the product label should always be your guide.

For fragrance without a candle flame, explore diffusers. Kmart's wider home fragrance range also includes room fragrances and other formats, giving you different ways to add a favourite scent around the home.
