For burning candles:

Be responsible when burning candles. Never leave burning candles unattended. Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting or relighting. Keep candles out of drafts and away from children and pets. Discontinue use when 1/2 inch of wax remains. Keep the waxpool free of wick trimmings, matches and other debris. Burn 3-4 hours at a time to reduce the amount of wax left on the sides of jars. It is normal for some wax to be left. Always place votive candles in a proper holder. Always place candles on a heat resistant surface. Occasionally, wicks may develop a black "mushroom." This "fragrance mushroom" is caused by the high volume of fragrant oil used in our candles. When this happens, extinguish the candle and allow to cool, trim the wick to 1/4 inch and relight. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy many hours of candlelit pleasure.

For using fragrant oils:

Use fragrant oils for light-bulb scenting by placing a few drops of oil on our Scent Ring. Rest the Scent Ring on any light bulb (75 watts or less), switch on the light and soon the room will be filled with fragrance.

Empty a vial of fragrant oil into the water tank of your toilet. The oil will float to the surface and continue to scent your bathroom for about one week.

When hand-washing woolens and delicate fabrics, add a few drops of fragrant oil to the final rinse water.

For enjoying potpourri:

Since 1970, Scent Shop has been collecting decorative botanicals and fragrant oils and combining them into distinctive pot pourri to perfume the indoor air and make it outdoor fresh.

Every Scent Shop Potpourri is part of a collection including matching candles, room sprays, fragrant oils and reed diffusers.

Potpourri is a natural way of air freshening, and dates back to thousands of years B.C.

Each potpourri is designed to scent beautifully alone or to create a total fragrant experience when united with one or more of its matching counterparts.

Scent Shop Potpourri's are easily refreshed with our fragrant oils or refresher sprays.

To refresh a potpourri, remove the larger pieces and set aside. Place the smaller pieces in a plastic bag and 1/2 bottle of its matching fragrant oil. Allow the oil to be completely absorbed before returning the pieces to the container. Arrange the larger pieces on top and enjoy.

Do not allow potpourri to come into direct contact with fine furniture finishes or painted or varnished surfaces.

Glass or ceramic containers are recommended as pot pourri may harm some metal finishes.
