WHY ARE SOME FRAGRANCES STRONGER OR LAST LONGER THAN OTHERS?
Essential oils and perfumes naturally vary in scent strength. Generally, light, fresh, green fragrances are more volatile and disappear quicker, while heady, musky, woody fragrances tend to linger in the atmosphere.

ARE THERE RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN SELECTING FRAGRANCE FOR SPECIFIC AREA?
General speaking, if you love the scent, use it. An exception is sleeping environments; strong, heady scents and invigorating scents should be avoided. Refer to each product listing for tips on selecting fragrance.

WHY DO I STOP DETECTING SCENT AFTER TESTING A FEW FRAGRANCES?
Our olfactory glands become saturated after smelling approximately three different scents in a row. Sniffing fresh coffee beans will help neutralise your olfactory glands. Untreated sheep’s wool is also very effective - lanolin is a great olfactory neutralizer.

WHY DOES THE SAME SCENT SMELL DIFFERENT IN EACH OF THE THREE PRODUCTS?
Each method of delivering scent (ie Aroma Reeds, Candles + Room Mists) will have an effect on the fragrance, especially the scented candles as heat can have a dramatic effect on scent.

Additional to this we enhance and lower certain scent notes in all three products to guarantee the effectiveness as some scent ingredients will not burn for example. It is for this reason we encourage testing the scent in the product before selecting it. Many people may have a favourite scent in one product and a different favourite in another.

WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCES THE LEVEL OF SCENT DETECTED?
Large open rooms, breezes + humidity ‘eat-up’ fragrance. Additionally fragrance is subjective - each of us will find certain fragrances more detectable (or less) than another person.

CAN I USE MY ROOM FRAGRANCE ON MY SKIN AS A PERSONAL PERFUME?
Many people do wear our fragrance and are absolutely delighted with it, however it is good to keep in mind we have not tested them for this purpose.

HOW LONG WILL MY CANDLE BURN FOR?
Jaye Niemi Scented Candles will burn for 50 hours and the scent will stay deliciously beautiful for the life of the candle.

ARE REFILLS AVAILABLE FOR THE AROMA REEDS
We do not offer refills for a few reasons. The Reeds become saturated by the end of the bottle so their effectiveness would be reduced if wicking a second bottle, and the delicate fragrance stores best in glass. Therefore we would still need to provide a packaged glass refill and Prepared Reeds.
