The summer solstice, occurring on Saturday, 21 June 2025, marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This celestial event symbolises vitality, abundance, and the peak of solar energy. It’s an ideal moment to align your well-being practices with nature’s rhythms, and what better way to do so than through the transformative power of essential oil candles and home fragrance. So here are what I think are some of the best essential oils to celebrate the Summer Solstice:
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts known for their aromatic and therapeutic properties. When infused into candles, they not only enhance the ambiance but also promote emotional and physical well-being. The act of lighting a candle can serve as a ritualistic gesture, grounding you in the present moment and connecting you with the energy of the season.
Lemongrass and Sweet Orange essential oils are renowned for their bright, refreshing aromas. These citrus oils are celebrated for their uplifting properties, helping to alleviate stress and enhance mood. Their invigorating scents can energise your space, making them perfect companions for the solstice’s vibrant energy and my favourite essential oils to celebrate the Summer Solstice.
Suggested Candle: Our Lemongrove candle is the perfect uplifting and energising blend while Island revitalises you with thoughts of beachy island getaways.
Lavender and Rose Geranium essential oils offer calming and balancing effects. Lavender is particularly noted for its ability to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Rose Geranium is cherished for its uplifting and heart-opening properties.
Suggested Candle: Our Lull candle is infused with lavender and chamomile for helping you drift off into a deep slumber. Eden is like walking through a cottage garden bursting with florals and fresh petal scents.
Cedarwood and Clove are often chosen to help us connect with nature and centre ourselves.
Suggested Candle: Woods is infused with silky cedarwood, a hint of vetiver and the earthiness of patchouli. Imagine hiking in the cool woodland surrounded by nature.
To deepen your connection with the summer solstice, bring your essential oil candles into a personal ritual:
So, as the sun reaches its peak and the days stretch long, let this solstice be a moment to pause, reflect, and honour your light within. Whether you’re lighting a handmade candle at dawn or journaling under twilight skies, know that small rituals can kindle deep transformation.
Wishing you a radiant, grounded, and meaningful solstice.
