Like some candles can refer to SCENTED, tapered, UNLIT, and votive candles. SCENTED candles are candles that have been infused with fragrances such as lavender, rose, or citrus. Tapered candles are candles that have a narrow base and gradually widen towards the top. UNLIT candles are candles that have not been lit and are in their original state. Votive candles are small, cylindrical candles that are typically used for religious ceremonies or rituals.
