Candles & Home Fragrance

Candles and home fragrance

Candles and home fragrances are a great way to create an inviting and comfortable atmosphere in your home. They are not only about scenting the air; they are about enhancing your living experience and making your house truly feel like a home. At Ulta Beauty, we offer a growing collection of candles and home fragrance products to fit your lifestyle.

Candles

Candles can transform a room, creating a warm, cozy ambiance that's perfect for relaxation. Scented candles serve as an extension of the world of perfumery. Like colognes and perfumes, they consist of top, middle and base notes that unfold over time, providing a unique sensory experience.

Our collection of candles includes scents ranging from invigorating citrus and herbal notes to soothing florals and warm spices. Plus, we offer several candle accessories, including snuffers and trimmers, to help you get the most out of each burn.

Pro tip: Make sure you trim your candle wick before each lighting to ensure a safe burn!

Home fragrance

Like candles, home fragrances, including diffusers and room sprays, offer a constant and subtle presence of aroma, ensuring your home always smells inviting. At Ulta Beauty, we offer room sprays and diffusers across a variety of scent profiles, including calming lavender and refreshing linen, to perfectly match your mood or setting.

Diffusers

Diffusers are a great way to keep a consistent scent around your home. Working by dispersing essential oils into the air, diffusers can create a calming environment, uplifting ambiance or simply a homely comfort.

Pro tip: If your reed diffuser is running low, flip the reeds around for a scent boost!

Room sprays

Room sprays are a quick and convenient way to freshen up your living space – even your linens and furniture! With just a few spritzes, room sprays can instantly transform a room with a scent that reflects your mood or the ambiance you're going for.

Just as personal scent helps complete a look, home fragrance can be the perfect finishing touch to any living space. Find an Ulta Beauty near you, or shop online for the best in home fragrance and candles.

Frequently asked questions

What types of home fragrance does Ulta carry?

Ulta carries candles, reed diffusers, room sprays, and related home fragrance products from brands including NEST New York, APOTHEKE, ENVIRONMENT, NEOM Wellbeing, and several Ulta Beauty Collection options. The assortment covers a range of scent families including fresh, woody, floral, fruity, and sweet options for different rooms and preferences.

What is the difference between a candle, reed diffuser, and room spray?

A candle releases scent through the heat of a flame melting the wax. It provides both fragrance and ambient light and tends to fill a room gradually. Reed diffusers work without heat or flame by drawing fragrance oil up through porous reeds, releasing a constant, subtle scent over weeks or months. Room sprays are alcohol-based and deliver an immediate burst of scent that fades more quickly than a candle or diffuser. Each format has different use cases: candles for atmosphere and a stronger scent experience, diffusers for consistent background scent, and room sprays for quick freshening.

What candle or home fragrance scent is best for the bedroom?

Calming, sleep-supportive scents tend to work best in the bedroom. Lavender, vanilla, sandalwood, and chamomile are commonly recommended for relaxation and winding down.

What are good home fragrance options for gifting?

Candles and home fragrance sets make popular gifts because they are a treat most people enjoy but would not always buy for themselves.

How do I make a candle last longer?

Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the jar on the first burn. This prevents tunneling, where the candle burns straight down the center and wastes wax on the sides. Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before each use to keep the flame steady and reduce soot. Keep candles away from drafts, which can cause uneven burning. Most quality candles are rated for a specific number of burn hours, which is a useful guide for how long the candle should last with proper care.
