Candles used to be an integral part of everyday life as the only source of light in a home. Early candles were often smelly, smoky affairs whose only redemption was the light they gave. Ancient peoples living in the area of India learned to make candles from boiling the fruit of the cinnamon plant. Thus the birth of the scented candle. Fortunately even the coming of the light bulb could not dim our enthusiasm for a flickering, scented candle. Today we can enjoy a variety of differents scents to enhance our daily lives.
