Why do some fragrances smell stronger than others?

How each individual perceives scent is very different. The way we feel, the environment, the weather and a whole range of additional factors can influence the way our receptors receive scent – sometimes smelling the same thing differently at different times of the day. Additionally, the type of notes in a fragrance play a role in how we smell scent. Certain scents like caramel and citrus tend to have a stronger impact quickly whereas floral scents tend to build in a space over time.

What if I can't smell my scented candle?

A common issue is not allowing the candle to burn long enough. For optimal scent throw, it's recommended to burn the candle for at least two hours so that the wax can melt all the way across the surface, releasing the fragrance effectively. Also, check the size of the room compared to the size of the candle. Smaller candles are suited to smaller rooms like bedrooms and home offices, while larger candles are better for lounge rooms and open-plan spaces. When we test our candles, one of the key aspects we evaluate is the scent throw. We tweak and refine our formulas until the scent throw is just right, ensuring you get the best fragrance experience possible.

What is tunnelling in a candle, and how can I prevent it?

Tunnelling occurs when a candle burns down the centre, leaving a ring of unmelted wax along the edges. To avoid this, make sure the first burn is long enough to allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface.

Why is there black residue around the inside of my candle jar?

Wicks require a bit of love and care. They should be trimmed to 5mm before each burn or if the candle has been burning continuously for more than two hours. Sometimes, if you pair a longer wick with interference to the flame such as a draught, it can cause some black residue on the glass. If you do get black residue on the inside of your jar, it can be easily removed with a paper towel or cloth. It won’t affect your candle or scent.
