When it comes to creating cozy spaces, Russians have mastered the art of hygge long before the concept went global. Think crackling fireplaces, soft blankets, and the irresistible aroma of earthy and warm scents that linger throughout their homes. For Jade’s Essence, an eco-friendly candle company, this cultural love for inviting fragrances presents an opportunity to explore the scents that resonate deeply in Russia. Let’s dive into the must-have candle scents that Russians adore, and how these fragrances align with Jade’s Essence’s ethos of sustainability and luxury.
The Russian Love for Earthy Elegance
Russians are known for their deep connection to nature, often drawing inspiration from their sprawling forests, fresh air, and rustic traditions. This connection reflects in their preference for earthy, grounding fragrances. Popular choices include oakmoss, teakwood, and patchouli, which evoke the serenity of the outdoors. At Jade’s Essence, our soy wax candles are the perfect canvas for these luxurious, earthy scents, offering a clean, non-toxic burn that complements their love for authenticity and sustainability.
Fun Fact:
