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.
Inside Sweetie’s Design: How We Curate the Perfect Flower + Candle Sets
At Sweetie, we believe harmony is the key to great design. Every preserved rose and scented candle in our collection is thoughtfully matched for both visual and sensory balance.
1. Harmonizing Color and Scent
We curate each combination so that the flower tone enhances the fragrance mood — creating a full sensory story.
Each pairing is designed to look refined on display and deliver a balanced fragrance throw when lit — perfect for retailers looking for reliable, photogenic products.
2. Premium Materials and Export-Ready Quality
Sweetie candles are made with natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks, and IFRA-compliant fragrance oils. Each glass vessel is tested for heat resistance, and every preserved flower is ensured to maintain its stable color and form.
We also pay close attention to logistics: our packaging has passed drop and temperature tests to prevent cracking or leakage during international shipping.This means less breakage, fewer complaints, and a smoother buying experience for importers and distributors.
