Scent Library
Welcome to the Scent Library! Every fragrance is built from layers of scent, each playing a unique role. Our scent library breaks down your options into Top, Heart, and Base Notes so you can create a signature blend that’s perfectly balanced. Understanding how each note behaves helps you choose the right combination for candles, perfumes, mists
Top Notes
What they are:
Top notes are the lightest and most volatile scents. They are the first impression of your fragrance and evaporate the fastest, giving an initial burst of freshness. In candles, mists, and laundry, top notes are what you smell immediately. In perfumes, they create the opening of the scent story.
