Men can take time to see past the outdated perception of unisex products. Scented candles have always traditionally come with floral scents. Therefore men have seen them as a female product. But, times are changing. Mainly due to recognised 'male' brands releasing candle ranges in scents that have a more 'manly' woody, or spiced aroma. As a result, there is now more choice than ever for men when it comes to scented candles.

There are also some key advantages men will gain from using scented candles more. When lit, they are an instant mood-setter, creating an ambience of sophistication to a home. Then there are the aromatherapy benefits. A relaxing smell can help you unwind after a stressful day at work. Are you expecting a guest? A subtle candle fragrance can also help mask any unwanted odours.

Remember when lighting your candle to keep the flame away from fabrics and to keep the wick trimmed to avoid smoking.

Whether used in your living room, the bathroom or a man cave, scented candles have become an essential interiors accessory. But, choosing a good product is key. Cheap alternatives will lose their smell quickly and when the candle is burning, the scent won't be able to fill the room.

To help you on your scented candle quest we have pulled together a list of 10 of our favourite scented candles for men.
