Scented candles have become a staple in the world of self-care and relaxation. From their warm, inviting glow to their soothing aromas, candles are a must-have for creating a cozy atmosphere at home and work. But have you ever wondered why some candles smell so much better than others? The secret lies in the three layers of scent.
The first layer of scent in a scented soy candle is the top note. This is the initial scent that you smell when you first light the candle. It's also the scent that dissipates the quickest. The top note is typically a lighter scent that sets the tone for the rest of the candle. Common top notes include citrus, floral, and herbal scents (orange zest, grapefruit, peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon).
The second layer of scent is the middle note. This is also known as the heart of the candle, as it is the main scent that you smell when the candle is burning. The middle note typically has a stronger and more complex scent than the top note. It's also the scent that lasts the longest. Common middle notes include lemongrass, lavender, rose and jasmine.
The third and final layer of scent is the base note. This is the scent that lingers after the candle has been extinguished. The base note is typically a rich, deep scent that provides a foundation for the other scents in the candle. Common base notes include sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, amber and musk.
At iNiNi, we use these three layers of scent to create a truly unique and enjoyable candle experience. Our candles are made with all-natural soy wax, which burns cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin wax. We also use high-quality, locally sourced fragrance oils to ensure that each layer of scent is distinct and well-balanced.
One of our most popular scents is our Calm scent, which comes in a soy candle, soy wax melts and diffusers. The scent boasts a delectable blend of tangy citrus, luscious caramelised pear, and delightful jasmine at its heart, topped off with vanilla whipped cream.
