🕯️ Scent Layering: Create a Story from Room to Room
Want your home to smell like a seamless experience instead of one flat note? Here's how to layer scents by room to reflect time of day, energy level, or the mood you want to cultivate:

🛋️ Living Room + Kitchen
Start your sensory journey with Spill the Tea in the living room for smoky, cozy vibes. Layer into Biscotti in the kitchen for a sweet, warm contrast that feels natural and inviting—like conversation flowing into dessert.

🛏️ Bedroom + Bath
Mix romance with serenity. Burn Midnight Bloom in the bedroom to set a dreamy, sensual mood, and carry that peace into your bathroom with Lavender Sea—a spa-like exhale of lavender and salt-kissed air.

🌸 Morning Routine Spaces
Begin with clarity. Light 11 11 to refresh and awaken your mind, and let Flora follow with lighthearted floral energy—perfect for your vanity, workspace, or meditation corner.

💄 Get Ready or Wind Down Zones
Add flair with La Femme—its confident floral musk is ideal for dressing areas, bedside tables, or when setting the tone for a night out (or in).

🌿 Intention in Every Flame
All Bougie Alchemist candles are vegan, cruelty-free, and made without toxins, phthalates, or paraffins—so you can feel good about burning them often and layering them freely.

Whether you're building an energizing morning, a soft sunset vibe, or a winding-down ritual, these candles are designed to move with you—room by room, mood by mood.
