The Fragrance Intensity Guide

Fragrance is personal. Some prefer an aroma that settles softly into the background, while others want a candle that makes its presence known throughout the room.

We grade every LITOTES candle on a fragrance-intensity scale from 1 to 5, so you can choose the experience that best suits your space, preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create.

Understanding the Intensity Scale

1 · Whisper
A delicate fragrance that remains close to the candle. Best for small rooms, desks, bedside tables, or fragrance-sensitive spaces.

2 · Subtle
Soft but noticeable. Adds atmosphere without becoming the focal point of the room.

3 · Balanced
A distinct, steady fragrance that is present without overwhelming the space.

4 · Room-Filling
A rich fragrance with noticeable reach. Well-suited for living rooms, open bedrooms, and larger spaces.

5 · Bold
This is what we're most known for. Bold is our most expressive fragrance level. Designed for those who enjoy a strong, immersive aroma that quickly establishes the mood of a room.

Find Your Fragrance

Your Space Matters

The way a candle performs can vary depending on:

The size and layout of your room
Open doors, windows, fans, or air vents
Ceiling height
The length of the burn
Your individual sensitivity to fragrance
Other aromas already present in the space

For the fullest fragrance experience, and to avoid tunneling, allow the candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel. Always follow the candle care instructions and never burn a candle for longer than the recommended time.

Light the Right Story

Whether you prefer a quiet aromatic detail or a fragrance that transforms the entire room, there is a LITOTES story for your space.
