Home Fragrance FAQ


How long should I burn my candle?

Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow wax to cool completely before relighting.


How often should I turn my reed diffuser reeds?

Turn the reeds every 7–10 days to refresh fragrance without accelerating oil evaporation.


How do I get the best scent from wax melts?

Use the correct sized wax warmer, and allow the wax to fully melt without overheating. Limit exposure to direct heat and keep your warmer clean.


Are reed diffuser oils safe?

Keep all oils out of reach of children and pets. Avoid contact with polished surfaces.


Can I mix fragrance products together?

Yes, but layer carefully to avoid overpowering a room. Start with small amounts and adjust gradually.
