How Scent Profiles Work (And Why They Matter)
Each candle is crafted with a scent profile made of top, middle, and base notes — and together, they shape how the scent unfolds as you burn it.
Here’s how it works:
✨ Top Notes
These are the first scents you notice when you light your candle — the brightest, lightest smells.
They’re designed to catch your attention, but they don’t linger long.
Think crisp citrus, fresh herbs, soft florals.
First impression.
🌸 Middle (Heart) Notes
As the top notes fade, the heart of the candle reveals itself.
Middle notes are often deeper, richer, and form the body of the scent.
Here you might find things like blooming florals, spices, or lush greens.
The essence of the scent.
🌲 Base Notes
Base notes are the foundation that anchors everything together.
They’re usually heavier, warmer scents that emerge the longer your candle burns.
Woods, musks, resins, and earthy tones often live here.
The lasting memory.
🕯️ Why This Matters When Shopping Online
Understanding scent profiles helps you imagine how a candle will behave in your space.
It’s not just about how it smells right out of the jar — it’s about how it evolves as it burns.
When choosing a candle:
If you love fresh and light, lean toward top-note heavy scents (like citrus, mint, soft florals).
If you want something cozy and grounded, pay closer attention to the base notes (like sandalwood, amber, or cedar).
If you’re after balanced complexity, look for scents where heart notes and base notes blend smoothly.

Each description highlights the most prominent features of the scent: what will stand out first and how it will feel as it burns in your space. Our goal is to set real expectations — so when your candle arrives, it feels like you already know it.
All of our products are designed to smell natural, grounded, and authentic — never artificial or overpowering. You'll find notes inspired by the earth itself: weathered woods, soft florals, bright herbs, and sun-warmed fruits.
When reading scent profiles, keep in mind:
Top notes are the first impression — bright and quick to lift.
Middle notes are the body of the scent — unfolding with warmth.
Base notes are the foundation — deep, rich, and lasting.
