Fragrance guide
A great Bakery & Gourmand candle should smell layered rather than simply sweet. Bakery notes such as bread, pie crust, waffles and cornbread can create the feeling of something fresh from the oven, while vanilla, brown sugar and honey add familiar sweetness.
Caramel, maple and molasses can create deeper, richer gourmand fragrances without needing to smell like a particular baked dessert. Fruit, cinnamon and other spices can also be blended with bakery and sweet notes to give each fragrance its own personality.
Wax quality, fragrance balance, wick selection, cure time and proper burning all contribute to fragrance performance and a consistent scent experience.
