After my time in a mental care facility I decided to get one of the diffusers that changes colours and has a calming effect on the mind and is also meant to help you sleep more easily. It makes a light bubbing noise as the oil is burnt as well. The two oils I like the most so far are Eucalyptus and Tea tree as both reminds me of the outdoors. The latter reminds me of the beach and surfing.
In response to: What essential oils bring you a sense of calming and comfort?

Lavender is a lovely smell @outlander 
Maybe the remaining honey adds some sweetness to the wax candle scent, @Gazza75?
