General speaking, if you love the scent, use it. An exception is sleeping environments, where strong, heady scents and invigorating scents should be avoided.

Our olfactory glands become saturated after smelling approximately three different scents in a row. Sniffing fresh coffee beans will help neutralise your olfactory glands.

Each different method of delivering scent (ie., Aroma Reeds, Scented Candles, Room Mists + Aromatic Oils) will affect the fragrance, especially the scented candles as heat can have a dramatic effect on scent.

We also enhance and lower certain scent notes in all four products to guarantee the effectiveness.  For example, some scent ingredients will not burn.  Many people may have a favourite scent in one product and a different favourite in another.

Large open rooms, breezes and humidity ‘eat up’ fragrance. Additionally fragrance is subjective – each of us will find certain fragrances more detectable (or less) than another person.

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.

Jaye Niemi Scented Candles will burn for 50 hours and the scent will stay deliciously beautiful for the life of the candle.   We recommend burning for at least 3 hours the first time to allow the entire surface of the wax to fully melt. 

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, defeating the purpose.

Yes. The reeds fit tightly in the cap and this helps keep out insects and reduces oxygen entering the bottle. To reduce the scent emitted, only flip 1 or 2 reeds at a time.

Yes (providing you have not stored the fragrance in direct sunlight and only used Jaye Niemi reeds). With use the perfumes naturally deepen in colour, particularly noticeable in our Tuberose + Sandalwood and Vanilla Orchid fragrances. These contain vanilla essential oil which naturally darkens once exposed to light. This is natural and does not affect the scent.
