Absolutely not. I think our dogs and cats would kick us out the house.

All of our ingredients are thoughtfully sourced to create safe, sustainable products that are:

  • cruelty-free
  • paraben-free
  • phthalate-free
  • vegan

Our products are made using a premium fragrance oil blend that consists of essential oils and man-made materials.

We use a premium blend of man-made and essential oils in our products, because they

  1. allow us to provide you with more complex scent blends
  2. are more sustainable to produce
  3. allow us to offer our products at lower price points
  4. allow our products to provide a better scent throw compared to 100% essential oil blends

  • Shipping Boxes
    • Made with 100% recycled material
    • Manufactured using energy through cogeneration

Our candles use 100% soy wax and Premium Fragrance Oils.

We fragrance our candles to the max to make sure you are getting the best quality for your money. People buy scented candles to fragrance their homes, we hope to help you with that.

To ensure your space is well-scented, we suggest using each product in the appropriately-sized space.

Small Spaces

Medium Spaces
1-2 candle(s)

Large Spaces and/or high ceilings
2-3 candles

Candle Care

As our candles are 100% soy wax, there are some crucial things you must be aware of when using, storing and looking after your brand new candle.

Lighting time

Allow the candle to burn right across the top layer of wax to avoid tunneling.
Minimum = 45 mins - 1 hour
Maximum = 4 hours

Wick Care

Our candles come with the wick already pre-trimmed, however you should make sure your wick is trimmed to between 1/8″ – 3/16″ / 3.2mm – 4.8mm before lighting. If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick and the wick will extinguish.

Wooden wicks do need a little attention and tending to before each burn, similar to cotton wicks. Be sure to gently snap off the ash or burnt wood along the top edge of the wick and then light as usual.

If when burning the candle for a long period of time you notice the flame height getting too low, it may be necessary to tap off any excess ash or burnt wood along the top of the wick. The flame will then return to its proper optimal height.

Candle Safety

  • Always keep a burning candle within sight
  • Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire
  • Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets
  • Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface
  • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris
  • Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents
  • Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room
  • Stop burning your candle when only ¼” of wax remains
  • Never touch or move a burning candle.
  • Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another
  • Use a snuffer to extinguish a candle
  • Never extinguish using the candle lid
  • Never extinguish candles with water
  • Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes or the flame becomes too high
  • Be very careful if using candles during a power outage
  • Never use a candle as a night light
  • Try not to store in direct sunlight

All of our ingredients are thoughtfully sourced to create safe, sustainable products that are cruelty-free, paraben-free and phthalate-free.

Our Reed Diffusers contain 100% Premium Fragrance Oils and contain NO Alcohol or Dipropylene glycol (DPG).

We fragrance our reed diffusers to the max to make sure you are getting the best quality for your money. People buy reed diffusers to fragrance their homes, we hope to help you with that.

To ensure your space is well-scented, we suggest using each product in the appropriately-sized space.

Small Spaces
1 reed diffuser with a few/most reeds added

Medium Spaces
1 reed diffuser with all reeds added
or
2 reed diffusers with a few/most reeds added

Large Spaces and/or high ceilings
3 reed diffusers with a few reeds added
or
2 reed diffusers with most reeds added
or
1-2 reed diffuser(s) with all reeds

Diffuser Care

  • Place your diffuser in a high traffic area where the fragrance will disperse throughout the room with air circulation.  Another great spot is just inside the room near the door so you pick up the scent as you enter the room.  In many cases, think of a diffuser as a bouquet of flowers - you'll smell the fragrance as you walk by, but it won't necessarily fill the room with fragrance.
  • Flip the reeds for more fragrance. You can flip a few reeds every few days or all the reeds everyday.  Keep in mind the more reeds you flip and the more often you flip them, the faster the fragrance oil will evaporate.
  • Use caution when flipping the reeds. Flip the reeds over a wastebasket or sink and be sure to clean the vessel of any fragrance oil drips before placing on a delicate counter top.
  • Use a coaster or plate under your diffuser to keep any oil drips from damaging a precious counter top.
  • Flip all of the reeds on all of your diffusers before leaving for vacation. When you return home you'll be welcomed by an inviting fragrance rather than a stale, stuffy home.
  • Place your diffusers out in the room a day or more before your guests arrive.  The complex fragrance oils and/or essential oils saturate the reeds or delivery system, and deliver continuous fragrance to the room.
  • If you are the type that likes more fragrance in the room, discreetly place more than one diffuser in the room.

Diffuser Safety

  • Do not ingest oil or place reeds in your mouth
  • Keep diffuser oil away from any surfaces
  • Wipe away any residual oil from bottle before placing on surfaces
  • Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth
  • Place bottle on level and protected surface
  • Do not light the reeds
  • Reed diffusers are flammable
  • Keep away from heat
  • Keep bottle and reeds away from children and pets
