During the colder months of the year (or those days you have the air conditioning on in your house), scent throw (how a scent spreads through a room) is affected by cooler temperatures and dry air. Scent disperses through heat, which is impacted by cold weather. Scent is carried in the air by moisture (water molecules). In the cooler months, the air is dry, leaving less moisture to carry the scent. Each individual scent is compiled of high notes, middle notes and low notes. When you first put a cube of scented wax in your warmer, the high notes (which smell the strongest) flash off first. As you continue to warm the wax, you smell the middle and low notes. This is the reason why the wax seems like it does not smell as strong as it did when you first put it in the warmer. Certain scents of wax smell stronger than others. For example a citrus scent will smell stronger than a musk scent. It is good to keep in mind that each person has a differentsense of smell. A scent may smell stronger to one person than it does to the other. If you are around one scent a lot in your home, you become more immune to the smell; therefore it does not smell as strong to you as it may to the next person. Lastly, the size of the room that the warmer is in can be a factor as well. If it is in a very large room, or in a room with aceiling fanor a door that opens to the outside a lot, this can contribute to the scent not smelling as strong. If this is the case with a certain scent of wax, I would suggest transferring it in to a smaller room like your bathroom or office space.   ...read more
