A portrait image of our 12oz Hazy / Calm scented candle. It has an amber tinted glass vessel, a round label with a hole at the center, like a vinyl record. The candle is lying on its side to highlight the wooden x-shaped wicks.

Fragrance Strength

Scent can be incredibly subjective; for example, did you know that a large portion of the population are anosmic when it comes to musk? They just can't smell it, or it smells soapy!

Some people find just a little fragrance overwhelming and headache inducing while others like nothing more than to walk straight into a wall of fragrance.

Then there is the environment you're burning them in, room size, temperature, altitude, air flow. These are all things that impact the hot throw of a candle.

With that being said our candles are purposely designed to live somewhere in the middle. We want to enhance and compliment your living spaces without overpowering them or giving you a headache.

Air Flow:

Our candles are also proudly free of phthalates (used as a scent carrier, but linked to some not nice health issues) and our wax is free from paraffin, also used to carry scent further.

Instead we use Coconut Wax that is a lighter molecule, and works just as well when our candles are placed in a spot to make the most of the natural airflow of the room.

We test all of our fragrances in multiple environments, in rooms about the size of an average size living room.

The below guide is how strong our candles feel in a room. It is based on our 12 oz candles, depending on room size you can expect the little 8 oz to feel a little lighter.
