Fragrance Guide

Fragrance Intensity

At Thomas Street, we pride ourselves on our range of distinctive, high quality fragrances.

To help pick a candle or diffuser that’s right for your space, we’ve sorted our entire range into three families;

 

Subtle 

We know that big, powerful fragrances aren’t for everyone. These gentler scents are perfect for laid back, understated settings.

 

Balanced 

An excellent fragrance throw for everyday use. These scents provide a balanced profile with real longevity.

 

Strong 

Whether it's heady violets, rich cinnamon or decadent black cherry, our boldest fragrances are packed full of notes that will leave an instant impression.

 

Fragrance Notes

Fragrances are also categorised within different families for their distinctive properties, whether it's bright, fresh notes of citrus, rich fruity tones or delicate floral scents.

(Did you know that a fragrance that reminds you of food is called a gourmand?)

Woody

Rich and earthy, woods typically form the base note of a fragrance, reinforcing and lifting all of the other elements.

Citrus

Among the oldest ingredients in perfumery, citruses like lemongrass, orange and bergamot give fragrances a bright, refreshing quality.

Gourmand

Our gourmand candles smell so good you might want to eat them (please don't). Whether it's indulgent black cherry or sweet notes of vanilla, these fragrances are guaranteed to make your mouth water.

Floral

Flowers are a diverse source of fragrance notes, from heady violets to the more delicate nuances of ylang-ylang and rose. Our range draws on a range of floral inspiration.

Fruity

These scents draw on the quality of rich, ripe fruits like grapes, berries and pomegranate; full of depth and sweetness.

Spicy

Also closely related to food, spices include familiar notes such as clove, cinnamon as well as more nuanced fragrances like pink pepper.

Verdant

From lush leaves to freshly-cut grass, the verdant family includes all notes that provide a lively green quality.

Fresh

Based on a quality rather than group of ingredients, our fresh fragrances are reminiscent of things like sea water, fresh air, clean laundry or a good walk.
