What are top, heart and base notes?
A fragrance is made up of different layers. Top, heart and base notes work together to shape its character and the way it unfolds over time.
TOP NOTES
The first impression of a fragrance.
Often fresh and lighter notes such as citrus, green leaves or berries. They shape the fragrance's first impression.
HEART NOTES
The heart and main character of the fragrance.
This is where you'll often find florals, spices, fruits or soft gourmand notes that bring the fragrance together.
BASE NOTES
The depth that lingers the longest.
Warm, fuller notes such as vanilla, amber, musk and woods give the fragrance depth, warmth and a longer-lasting character.

Everything you want to know about scents
From fragrance families and fragrance notes to choosing the right scent for different rooms – here you'll find answers to common questions about scented candles and guidance to help you find a scent that feels right for you and your home.
1. How do I choose the right scent for me and my home?
Start by thinking about the atmosphere you want to create. Fresh and citrus scents often feel light and uplifting, florals soft and elegant, while woody, spicy and gourmand scents can bring more warmth and coziness to a space. Exploring different fragrance families can help you discover the scents that best suit your taste, your home and the mood you want to create.
2. What are fragrance families and how are they different?
Fragrance families are a way of grouping scents by their overall character. Common families include fresh and citrus, green, floral, woody, spicy and gourmand. Many fragrances combine elements from several families, so a scent can be fresh, green and floral at the same time.
3. What are top, heart and base notes?
Top notes create the first impression of a fragrance and often include lighter notes such as citrus, green leaves or berries. Heart notes emerge next and shape much of the fragrance's main character. Base notes such as vanilla, amber, musk and woods add depth, warmth and a more lasting character to the scent.
4. Which scents work best in different rooms?
There are no strict rules – start with the atmosphere you want to create. Fresh, green and citrus scents work beautifully in kitchens and bathrooms, while woody and warm fragrances can make a living room feel more inviting and cozy. For bedrooms, many people prefer soft floral, powdery or woody scents for a calmer atmosphere.
5. What are the best scented candles for a living room?
Living rooms are a great place for scents that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Woody, earthy and soft notes such as sandalwood, cedarwood, amber and moss work particularly well. If you prefer something sweeter, vanilla, coffee and gourmand scents can make the room feel even cozier.
6. What scents are best for a bedroom?
Soft and comforting fragrances are often a lovely choice for bedrooms. Floral notes, sandalwood, musk, amber and powdery accords can create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Most importantly, choose a scent you personally enjoy and that doesn't feel too intense for the space.
7. What are gourmand scents and what do they smell like?
Gourmand scents are inspired by aromas we associate with delicious things to eat and drink. Typical notes include vanilla, caramel, chocolate, coffee, nuts and freshly baked pastries. They often create a warm, comforting atmosphere and can evoke anything from freshly brewed coffee to something sweet just coming out of the oven.
8. What is the difference between fresh, floral, woody and spicy scents?
Fresh scents often feel light and bright, with notes such as citrus, green leaves and aromatic herbs. Floral fragrances feature notes like rose, jasmine, peony or iris. Woody scents often include cedarwood, sandalwood, moss and earthy notes, while spicy fragrances get their warmth and character from ingredients such as cardamom, cinnamon, clove or pepper.
9. How strong is a scented candle and what affects its scent intensity?
The strength of a scented candle depends on several factors, including the fragrance composition, room size, air circulation and how long the candle has been burning. Some fragrance notes naturally feel more pronounced than others. Scent perception is also personal – the same fragrance may feel strong to one person and much softer to another.
10. Can a scent belong to more than one fragrance family?
Yes. Many fragrances combine characteristics from several fragrance families rather than fitting neatly into just one category. A scent might open with fresh citrus notes, develop into a floral heart and finish with a warm, woody base. Fragrance families are best used as a guide to understanding a scent's character and discovering the types of fragrances you're naturally drawn to.
