What do our candles really smell like?
So what does my candle really smell like?
Why can I detect a different scent each time I smell my candle?
Candles are made up of three levels: Top notes – Middle notes – base notes
What are they?
The top notes are what you will smell first, followed by the middle notes, then the base notes to finish. It is often the middle notes that people consider the heart of the fragrance
