Count on us to know the importance of a wick trimmer  A wick trimmer is a scissor-like tool that clips the excess ashy “mushroom” wick or carbon built-up. It is the first step to ensuring the best possible scenting experience for any candle. The wick trimmer features a plate cutter with a raised edged to capture the burnt trim wick or used to keep the wick trimmed when you want to burn your candle. We recommend that when you receive your candle, trim the wick down about ¼ inches in length before you light it and each time after that. Trimming it to this length will establish a clean and safe burn.   Finding the right tool for trimming your wick  Some people might use any pair of scissors to get the job done or even their hand, which we highly suggest against. Both methods are the wrong way to properly care for your candles and can cause even more mess or damage. As the candle continues to burn down, it becomes almost impossible to reach with the blade of any scissors and can be too far down to do an adequate job of trimming the wick. This is why it is important to have a special tool like the Aroma360 Wick Trimmer as your go-to for this purpose specifically, plus it shows your guest how much of a candle connoisseur you are.   Make a clean burn  There is a visible difference between a trimmed wick and an untrimmed wick when burning candles. A trimmed wicks burn clean with the flame appearing bright and subtle, which allow for the aroma of the candle to disperse throughout the room and burn evenly. While an untrimmed or long wick will create huge flames that can be dangerous depending on where you place your candles and can cause a black hue in the flame, that can make it appear more dull and almost obscured.   Below, are some additional benefits to trimming your wick:  You never have to worry about soot appearing on your ceilings and surfaces with a trimmed wick.  The candle will have more longevity and control of the amount of wax being burned. Do not burn for more than 4 hours. Less mess with debris and carbon build up in the wax. It also minimizes the amount of soot created.  It enhances the scent diffusion of the candle while burning for a more aromatic scenting experience.    The Takeaway  Whether you are a candle connoisseur or want to look more sophisticated owning a wick trimmer allows you to upkeep the care of your candles with each use. When you keep your wicks trimmed, you can expect a longer use from your candles as well as an overall safer burn. Shop our signature candle collection to pair with your wick trimmer now! 

The legendary oil of fragrances  The vanilla fragrance has been known in the scenting world for many years. The scent has been used to enhance the mood and ambiance of any space, hence one of its therapeutic properties is the aphrodisiacal effect. This recognizable fragrance has endless health benefits and is used for a variety of things such as regulating menstruation, reducing signs of depression and anxiety, and lowering blood pressure. Another major health benefit is that it contains antioxidant properties that aid in wound healing and help fight infections. A study on aromatherapy has shown that vanilla is ranked remarkably high in its stress-reducing capabilities and promoting relaxation.   What exactly is vanilla, and where does it originates from? Vanilla is a spice that is extracted from the orchids of vanilla. The tropical orchid is a long pod-like fruit which makes it an edible plant. It is enjoyed universally from baking to fragrances, carrying a very potent taste and scent. Vanilla was originally native to Central and South America, as well as, The Caribbean. The first people to have cultivated it was the Totonacs of Mexico. The Aztecs conquered the Totonacs in the 15th Century, which allowed them access to vanilla for the first time. They were the civilization that put it on the map by utilizing vanilla in their food and mixing it with cacao, pairing the two flavors together. Eventually, it made its way to Europe when the Spanish fought the Aztecs and brought it back home with them. Today, about 80% of the world’s vanilla comes from farms in Madagascar. Their locals continue to pollinate the orchids by hand and cure and dry the beans traditionally.   Goes Best With... Besides being paired with food, vanilla is a base note in fragrances which is normally paired with citrus, wood, and floral scents because of its rich, warm and sweet aromatic components.

The Grounding Scent   Have you ever taken a deep breath while walking in a national park and inhaled the warm, woody scent of nature around you? Most parks or forests are surrounded by the beautiful greatness of Cedar Trees, a majestic evergreen tree made of cones with pine-like needles. The Cedarwood oils is extracted from the tree which distill a pleasant aroma and balsamic undertones, filled with various properties such as anti-inflammatory and antiseptic for health benefits in the oil.  As a fragrance oil, it is often used as a base note in scenting. The Cedarwood acts like an “anchor” in combining floral and citrus notes. Its heavier molecular weight allows it to bring depth to scents and boost the strength of top and middle notes. It blends well with Ylang-ylang, Grapefruit, Sandalwood, and Frankincense.    Unlocking memories   Cedarwood oil is known for its aromatic wood fragrance that is reminiscent of the outdoors. Do you remember back in grade school, when the classroom would smell like pencil shavings? Little did you know that was the smell of cedarwood, which is the wood that is mainly used for pencils. One can also say that the scent is similar to an heirloom hope chest or a good aftershave. Cedarwood carries a fragrance that makes it easily recognizable, embodying a more comforting and old-fashioned scent when it is released. Very nostalgic, right?   Where does the Cedar tree originates from?   Cedar Tree is a native of North America, the Eastern Coast of The Mediterranean, and the Himalayas with four varied species. These magnificent trees can grow up to 30 meters in height and live up to 1,000 years. The leaves are needle-like and vary from an evergreen color to bright green grass color with a white wax layer for protection, their barks and cones are also covered in resin for protection as well. The tree has many purposes such as fencing, musical instruments and most importantly fragrance oil.  What are Cedarwood's Benefits?   Since Cedarwood is a grounding note, it provides excellent emotional balance and calm, for both the body and the mind making it a popular oil for aromatic use. Scientific studies have shown that when diffused, Cedarwood is great for promoting self-confidence and self-esteem. The warm, herbaceous odor of this wood helps to evoke feelings of wellness and is used successfully to treat anxiety.
