Most candles sell a scent. We formulate around a compound. Linalool, beta-pinene, D-limonene, beta-caryophyllene — each one is studied for a specific effect on the brain, and each anchors a fragrance built to carry it. Then every blend is sent out for GC-MS verification, so what's on the label is what's in the glass.
