Unscented Decorative Candles: Why They’re Perfect for Modern Homes
Scented candles can be beautiful — but they’re not for everyone.
More people are choosing unscented decorative candles because they fit modern homes, minimalist interiors, and calm living. At Lumora, all our candles are unscented by design, because we believe beauty doesn’t need to be loud.
Here’s why unscented candles are becoming the new luxury standard — and why they’re perfect for gifting too.
What is an unscented decorative candle?
An unscented decorative candle is a candle made to:
- look like a piece of décor
- elevate your space visually

It’s the perfect balance of atmosphere + aesthetics.
