What makes Lilyfield candles different from other candles?

Every Lilyfield candle is hand-poured with clean, natural wax and phthalate-free fragrances, but what truly sets us apart is the meaning behind each scent. Each candle is paired with a short inspirational video that reflects the story and feeling of the fragrance—encouraging you to pause, breathe, and create a Life Lived Well. Your candle isn’t just something that scents a room…it’s something that shapes a moment.

How do I choose the right candle for me or as a gift?

Start with the feeling you want to experience or share. Do you want cozy and calming? Bright and uplifting? Reflective and meaningful? Each Lilyfield candle description includes the scent notes and the emotional tone it inspires. If you’re gifting, choose the sentiment that matches the moment—Encouragement, Gratitude, Celebration, Comfort, or New Beginnings.A Lilyfield candle is more than a scent—it’s a message.

Were you scared or anxious when starting Lilyfield and investing in your dream?

Yes—very much so. Starting Lilyfield meant stepping into something new, something personal, something I cared deeply about. And any time your heart is involved, fear comes right along with it. I asked myself “What if it doesn’t work? What if I’m not enough?” But I also asked, “What if this is exactly what I’m meant to create?”Lilyfield is proof that you don’t have to wait to feel fearless—you just choose to move with the fear, gently, one step at a time. Every candle represents that courage: learning, growing, investing in myself, and honoring the belief that small beginnings still bloom beautifully. I also knew that I had to trust in Jesus now more than ever.

Do you pray over all of your candles?

ABSOLUTELY! Yes, this business is a gift from God. Before any candle goes out, I pray a blessing over it. I pray that these candles will not only be a source of warmth, joy and love but that they also illuminate the heart of the person receiving it with God's love.

What obstacles have you faced as a small business owner, and how did you overcome them?

There have been many—learning to price materials, understanding all the different wicks and wax to use, choosing the best ones, redesigning labels, navigating shipping frustrations, doubting myself on slow days, and feeling overwhelmed on the busy ones. What helped most was remembering why I started: to bring JOY and the LOVE of Jesus to people in a dark world. I want people to find their inspiration through my journey so they too can create a Life Lived Well.

The Science of Scent in Women in Candle Business

Scent holds remarkable power over emotion and memory. Scientific studies show that our olfactory system connects directly to the limbic system in the brain. This area manages emotions and stores memories. A single smell can trigger a flood of vivid feelings and images from another time and place.

Christine leverages this science in every candle, diffuser, and spray she brings to life. Her experience as a women in candle business founder has taught her that people remember experiences through scent. She works to create aromas that not only smell delightful but also evoke specific emotions and joyful recollections.

Scent and Emotional Well-being

Scents can boost mood, comfort the mind, or transport us to cherished moments. The connection between scent and memory helps explain why lighting a candle at home can immediately lift your spirits or soothe a stressful day. Christine believes that everyone has a scent map—unique associations built from personal experiences throughout life.

Handpoured candles and eco-friendly sprays can shape your atmosphere and frame of mind. Choosing your favorite aroma is not just about fragrance—it is a way to personalize your environment to reflect your needs and memories. Scent can nurture your well-being, creativity, and sense of self.

Nostalgia, Scent, and Memory

Scent memories are deeply individual. For one person, a pine aroma brings back festive holidays with family. For someone else, it recalls quiet mornings wandering through a calm forest. This connection makes scented candles and diffusers especially thoughtful gifts. Candles hold the power to remind us of people and moments we love.

Christine spends time learning about the emotional impact of aroma. She urges you to use scent to enrich your daily life—transforming your routine into something beautiful and meaningful. Aromatherapy practices with essential oils harness this special connection for relaxation and health.

Scented Candles for Well-being

Surround yourself with candles that help you reset and refocus. Lavender candles can be perfect for letting go of tension after a long day. Citrus notes are uplifting and energize your mornings. A calming vanilla candle can help ground you in the present, promoting comfort.
