What do top notes, middle notes and base notes mean when talking about fragrance?
A perfect combination of these three notes makes a fragrance lasting and appealing.

Top Note - This is the initial impression the fragrance oil makes when you first smell a candle or remove the lid. It is the most volatile, meaning it will evaporate the quickest.

Middle Note - The middle note is the “heart” of the fragrance. It can take 10 to 20 minutes for the middle notes to fully develop. When you are burning a candle, the middle notes are the most prominent.

Base Note - also called the “Dry Down or Dry Note”- The base notes are what give a candle lasting qualities. It is the scent that lingers even after the candle is extinguished.

1. Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Be sure the wick ember is no longer glowing. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
2. Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets.
3. Trim candlewicks to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning and dripping.
4. Always use a candle-holder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax.
5. Be sure the candle-holder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This can help prevent heat damage to underlying surfaces and prevent glass containers from breaking.
6. Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
7. Always read and follow the manufacturer's use and safety instructions carefully. Don't burn a candle longer than the manufacturer recommends.
8. Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups and sooting. Drafts can also blow nearby lightweight items into the flame where they could catch fire.
9. Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don't burn too many candles in a small room or in a "tight" home where air exchange is limited.
10. Don't burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1 / 1.5 centimeters of wax remains in the container.
11. Never touch or move a burning candle or container candle when the wax is liquid.
12. Never use a knife or sharp object to remove wax drippings from a glass holder. It might scratch, weaken, or cause the glass to break upon subsequent use.
13. Place burning candles at least three inches apart from one another. This helps ensure they don't melt one another, or create their own drafts to cause improper burning.
14. Use a snuffer to extinguish a candle. It's the safest way to prevent hot wax splatters.
15. Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause a glass container to break.
16. Be very careful if using candles during a power outage. Flashlights and other battery-powered lights are safer sources of light during a power failure.
17. Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. The candle isn't burning properly. Cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before relighting.
18. Never use a candle as a night light.
