Fragrance Oil FAQs

Fragrance Oils

• The fragrance oils that are used in Evoke My Senses products are designed and developed in Australia for candles and bath products. They do not contain palm oil, are vegan and cruelty free. They are synthetic in substance (man-made) but many of the fragrance oils do contain a high percentage of essential oils for an accurate and natural scent.

Understanding top notes, middle notes and base notes

• Top, middle and base notes refer to how quickly an aroma dissipates.
• Top notes are also referred to as headnotes and are the first impression that you get from a candle. They are the first aromas you smell when you take the lid off a candle. These top note aromas will only last between 5-15mins.
• Middle notes, also known as heart notes, make their presence known as the top notes fade away. These full-bodied notes make up the heart of the fragrance and determine the more dominant aroma lasting around 20-60mins.
• Base notes linger the longest due to their heavy molecular structure. Base notes are the underlying aroma of a fragrance blend that can last up to about 6hrs.
