The Webster dictionary defines luxury as “something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary.”
When candles were first invented over 5,000 years ago, they fulfilled a basic need for light and warmth. But nowadays, the pervasiveness of incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent lamps, and LEDs have all but made the original purpose of candles obsolete. Today, most people love to buy candles for 3 main reasons: decor, ambience, and aromatherapy.
