Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Amber Vanilla Woods smell like?
A: Tahitian vanilla with amber and sandalwood under it, which makes it warm and woody rather than sweet. It is the cosiest scent in the range without being a dessert.
Q: Which scent is best for a living room in winter?
A: Amber and sandalwood suit a living room in the cold months because they read as warmth rather than as fragrance. Fresh scents work better in spring and in bathrooms.
Q: Is vanilla too sweet for somebody who dislikes sweet candles?
A: Vanilla paired with amber and sandalwood behaves very differently from vanilla on its own, which is what makes this one work for people who avoid bakery scents. The wood keeps it grounded.
Q: What is the tactful way to give a "not my problem" gift?
A: It works when the person left by choice and is pleased about it, which covers most retirements. Where the exit was forced, choose a sentiment about the years instead.
Q: Do candles expire?
A: Soy does not spoil, though fragrance fades slowly over years in heat or sunlight. Kept cool and dark, a jar is as good in two years as it is today.
Q: Why does the flame sometimes flicker and smoke?
A: A draught from a door, a vent or an open window is the usual cause, and moving the jar fixes it. An untrimmed wick does the same thing.
