In the gift industry, every successful product tells a story — not just through what it looks like, but through what it makes people feel. For years, preserved flowers have carried messages of timeless love and beauty. Today, we see a new chapter unfolding: the union of preserved roses and scented candles.


At Sweetie, after 16 years of crafting elegant preserved flower gifts for global brands, we’ve noticed a shift. Retailers and distributors aren’t only seeking beauty — they’re searching for multi-sensory gifts that touch the eyes, the heart, and now, the sense of smell.That’s why we’ve developed our newest line: scented candle gifts designed to complement preserved roses perfectly.

Why Gift Buyers Are Pairing Flowers and Candles in 2025


In 2025, combining flowers and candles has become more than a design trend — it’s a proven way to increase gift value and emotional impact.


Across Europe and the U.S., scented candles are consistently among the top three selling categories for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas. Meanwhile, preserved flowers continue to dominate luxury and long-lasting gift sets. Pairing these two products creates a cohesive gift experience that appeals to modern consumers’ desire for beauty, relaxation, and mindfulness.


From a retailer’s perspective, flower-and-candle sets offer:

  • Higher average order value per purchase

  • Cross-seasonal flexibility (romantic, festive, or home décor themes)

  • Lower SKU risk, since both categories already perform strongly

The Emotional Power of Combining Fragrance and Flowers


Scent is one of the most powerful triggers of memory and emotion.Where preserved roses speak visually to love and beauty, a candle’s fragrance adds warmth, serenity, or energy — depending on the blend.


When combined, the experience becomes immersive:

  • Lavender and pink roses: calm and romantic

  • Vanilla and champagne roses: cozy and elegant

  • Sandalwood and red roses: classic and passionate


It’s not just about what your customers see — it’s about what they feel when they open the box. That’s what makes this combination irresistible for personal gifts, retail shelves, and brand collaborations.
