RECOMMENDED COMPOSITION
06
THE SYSTEM
System. Three elements.
Six relationships.
Symbols name the scent. Numbers let you ask for it. Repetition shows the relationship between elements—not formula percentages.

Start with the room.
Choose what you know. Leave the rest open.
CALIBRATION / LIVE
WOOD
Dry, structural, resinous.
FLORAL
Soft, botanical, lifted.
AIR
Open, transparent, volatile.
Read the proportion
Each label contains three positions. Repetition shows relative emphasis in the perceived scent—not an ingredient formula. In 04, one WOOD and two AIR symbols mean wood gives structure while air occupies more of the composition. In 06, WOOD, FLORAL and AIR are held in equal perceptual weight.

Throw describes how far a composition is typically perceived after a full melt pool forms. It is not a quality score or an exact distance. Room size, airflow, ceiling height and burn conditions change the result.
PRESENCE / ROOM TESTING
What Presence means.
PRESENCE is informed by documented burns in rooms of known dimensions. We observe how a composition develops while burning and how it registers in the surrounding space. It is a relative guide for choosing a room, not a quality score or a guaranteed distance.
- INTIMATE
- Designed to remain relatively close to the candle.
- AMBIENT
- A noticeable presence throughout a typical room.
- EXPANSIVE
- Suited to larger or more open spaces.
Development tests help compare directions. A current production claim requires repeated, comparable evidence for that exact formula, wax, wick, vessel and fill. Read the testing method →

Each mark names an element. Repetition shows perceived emphasis, not formula percentages. Presence describes the relative room experience.
