Top. Heart. Base: Meet Your Scent
A candle isn’t just a scent — it’s a story told in layers.
Ever lit a candle and felt like you were suddenly somewhere else?
Maybe it was the crisp eucalyptus in the air…
A soft trail of violet on the breeze…
The quiet strength of cedar that stayed long after the flame died.
That, right there, is the magic of the olfactory pyramid — the invisible structure that shapes every scent journey.
Let’s break it down.
🔹 Top Notes: The Spark
These are the first things you notice — the hello.
They show up fast and fade just as quickly.
In Blue Mountains Mist, it’s eucalyptus.
Fresh. Cool. Like a deep breath on a mountaintop.
It catches your attention, wakes your senses — then gently steps back.
🔸 Heart Notes: The Soul
Now comes the emotion.
The heart notes are the core — the part that lingers, comforts, speaks.
In Blue Mountains Mist, you’ll find muguet (lily of the valley) and violet.
Soft, green, nostalgic.
The feeling of walking through a forest just after rain.
The scent of something delicate, but deeply alive.
🔻 Base Notes: The Memory
Long after the top has faded and the heart has whispered its story, the base notes remain.
Here it’s cedar and patchouli.
Warm. Woody. Grounded.
This is what stays in the air.
This is what stays with you.
The part you remember the next day when your room still feels wrapped in calm.
So next time you light a candle, pause.
Don’t just sniff and go.
Let it speak.
Let the top notes greet you.
Let the heart notes settle in.
Let the base notes anchor you.
A great scent doesn’t shout.
It unfolds.
And the best ones?
They stay with you — long after the flame goes out.
