What does Scent Strength mean? 

We describe our fragrances using three scent strength levels to help set expectations and guide your choice:

Balanced – Noticeable but subtle. Designed for smaller rooms or those who prefer a lighter, background scent.

Medium – A confident everyday strength. Present without overpowering and well-suited for most homes.

Bold – Designed to make an impact. Best for large rooms, open floor plans, or homes with competing odors.

Scent strength reflects design intent, not quality. Every fragrance is blended with the same care — the difference is how assertively it’s meant to perform.

How do room size and airflow affect scent performance? Room size is a helpful guideline, not a guarantee. Airflow, ceiling height, open layouts, and even how your home “breathes” all influence how fragrance travels.A scent that feels bold in a closed bedroom may feel subtle in a large, open-concept space. If your home has strong air circulation, frequent cooking, pets, or other everyday aromas, a Medium or Bold strength may perform better for you.

Why scent can perform differently from home to home? Fragrance doesn’t exist in isolation. Cooking, pets, smoking, humidity, cleaning products, and daily life all interact with scent.A fresh fragrance like Green Clover and Aloe will never overpower a house full of freshly baked apple pie — and it shouldn’t try to. Our goal is to complement your space, not compete with it.

Our 10 oz candles are a custom blend of paraffin and soy waxes. Paraffin holds the strong colors and scents you enjoy, and soy is more eco-friendly to our environment.

Use an electric mist diffuser? Our diffuser fragrance oils, available in 2 and 4 oz sizes are compatible with most small appliances.

Use our 4 oz fragrance sprays for a quick fragrance boost.

Our candles are a custom blend of paraffin and soy waxes. Paraffin is used to hold the strong colors you see and scents you smell. Soy is used to create a product more eco-friendly to our environment. Together, a quality product is created and tested to be the best possible for you and your home. Our candles are double wicked, to provide a larger melt pool. All wicks are lead free, and all fragrance oils are phthalate free. When burned properly, each candle will burn up to 45 hours. 

• How are fragrance oils used? Our home fragrance oils are designed for use in ultrasonic, cold air, and reed diffusers. They are highly concentrated — a little goes a long way.
• What are fragrance sprays best for? Sprays are perfect for quick refreshes, linens, and small spaces. They’re designed for immediate enjoyment, not long-term scenting of large rooms.
• Which product gives the strongest scent? Diffusers offer the most consistent, long-lasting scent. Candles provide ambiance with fragrance, while sprays offer instant impact.

• What is your turnaround time? As a small batch maker, most products are hand poured at the time of order, and our standard turnaround time is seven days, and many orders ship much sooner. We do offer Jump to the Front of the Line processing for those needing an order sooner. 
• Why is shipping so expensive? Cost for shipping is determined by the USPS. Factors for shipping cost include weight of the order (unfortunately, candles are very heavy) and distance between our facility and the shipping address. Most orders arrive between two to three days between when they are shipped from our offices and when they are received.
• More answers to many of your questions can be found on our FAQ page. 
• I’m not sure which scent to choose. What do you recommend? If choosing a scent feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Many customers prefer to start with familiar scent families (fresh, citrus, spa-like, or warm) or explore a curated sampler before committing to a full-size fragrance.
• Can I try a scent before committing to a full size? Yes. We offer curated sampling options designed to help you explore without pressure. These are intentionally limited to help guide — not overwhelm — your decision.
• Will this scent be strong enough for my home? That depends on your space and preferences. If you enjoy noticeable fragrance or have a large or busy household, consider Medium or Bold scents and consistent diffuser use.
• How long does fragrance last? Longevity depends on usage, room size, and format. Diffusers provide continuous scent, candles offer episodic fragrance, and sprays deliver short-term freshness.
• Do you offer recommendations for pets or sensitive noses? Balanced and Medium strength scents are often preferred by those sensitive to fragrance. As always, start small and adjust based on comfort.
