Use Candles for Mood & Atmosphere

In using candles for mood you should think of colour, scent and safety. Place candles on safe burning surfaces such as special glass, ceramic and wood holders. Make sure nothing draped, loose or flammable is nearby and play with a single scent in multiple levels. Lilac or rose scents can be stepped in a series of votive heights or long sensual tapers either placed at strategic lighting spots near mirrors or in a single arrangement. Remember that you are going for soft lighting and don't overpower your mate with multiple smells. One candle can be just as powerful, and even more so than ten if placed on a dresser in front of a mirror to cast a soft illumination on the contours of naked flesh.
