Have you ever stayed in a hotel room that didn’t smell that great? Well, it has happened to me a few times, even in nice hotels. Granted, my nose is a bit more sensitive than most, thanks to my previous career in the fragrance industry. However, I would like to recommend pocket sized candles for your next trip. In addition to covering potential “unusual odors”, it can help you recreate the smell of home in your hotel room. Here are a few I recommend that are small, light and will easily fit in a small corner of your suitcase:
