    The most frequently asked questions from our beloved VOLUSPA Customers & Answers from our Customer Service Experts!

    PRODUCT - CANDLES

    What kind of candle wax do you use?

    Our candles are phthalate, paraben, soy and sulfate free, vegan and we do not test on animals. Our wax is a proprietary coconut blend made of sustainably farmed coconuts and not only burns up to 90% cleaner than its 100% soy wax counterpart, but it also maintains the integrity and maximum volume of our incredible fragrances.

    What kind of candle wicks do you use?

    Our wicks are made of 100% natural materials and contain no soy. Our wax is a proprietary coconut blend made of sustainably farmed coconuts and not only burns up to 90% cleaner than its 100% soy wax counterpart, but it also maintains the integrity and maximum volume of our incredible fragrances.

    Do your candles contain synthetics?

    Voluspa products are sustainable, ecologically-sound and pesticide-free. While we make every attempt to source the most organic ingredients, when possible, our products may contain synthetic ingredients used to achieve a particular aroma.

    How do I prevent my candle from tunneling?

    With each candle use, always allow the wax to pool to the edges or sides of the vessel.
    Note: This may take multiple hours but will prevent uneven burning or tunneling. If you feel there may be another issue affecting the performance of your candle, please email [email protected]

    Should I trim my wicks?

    Trim wicks to ¼ of an inch before lighting your candle. This helps prevent soot and extends the life of your candle. Please visit our Product Use and Safety Page for more information.

    How can I upcycle my vessel?

    So many ways! Please visit https://www.voluspa.com/pages/candle-repurposing-101 for more info!

    Do you offer samples?

    Great question! We offer a complimentary tiny tin candle sample and 1.5ml perfume sample on all orders $75+

    PRODUCT - PERFUME

    What is the difference between eau de parfum and eau de toilette?

    Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a type of fragrance that contains a higher concentration of perfume oils, typically around 15-20%. This gives it a stronger, longer-lasting scent compared to lighter formulations like Eau de Toilette. Eau de Parfum is designed to linger on the skin for several hours, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more enduring fragrance experience. Voluspa EDP Collection will linger on the skin for over 4 hours. Layer on your favorite fragrance throughout the day or mix it up from daytime to evening.

    Where and how should I apply perfume on my body?

    Apply perfume directly to your skin, perfume is designed to interact with your skin and warmth of your body. Best place to apply perfume is your pulse points because this is the warmest part of your body. Pulse points are: wrists, neck, elbow creases, etc. The warmer parts of the skin will project the fragrance more.

    Pro Tips:

    Don’t rub your wrists together after spritzing! It’s a hard habit to break, but don’t rub your wrists together after spritzing! This will crush the top notes and alter the fragrance. After spritzing, allow fragrance to dry down, and properly develop on the skin.

    Don’t use the spritz the air and walk through method. Your beloved fragrance will miss the skin and fall onto clothes, hair or the floor.

    Do moisturize your skin prior to applying your perfume, this will provide a more long-lasting fragrance.

    Do apply on your pulse points, and allow to dry to experience the full effects

    What are perfume fragrance notes?

    Fragrance notes are the scents you will experience throughout the wear time of your perfume. The way perfume is built matters. Fragrance is layered and unfolds into top, heart and base notes. How ingredients develop on your skin can depend on your skin chemistry.

    Top Notes: These are the first scents you experience when you apply a perfume (usually citrus or fresh elements). Your skin’s pH and moisture can influence how fresh or sharp these top notes smell.

    Middle/Heart Notes: These appear once the top notes dissipate, typically floral or spicy notes. Your skin’s oil levels can amplify or mute these notes.

    Base Notes: The last part of the fragrance to develop, these are usually woody, amber, or musky scents. Dry skin might cause these notes to fade faster, while oily skin may allow them to linger longer.

    Do your fragrances contain natural or synthetic ingredients?

    We formulate our fragrances using both natural and synthetic ingredients. Combining synthetic and natural ingredients allows us achieve more dynamic and long lasting fragrances. This approach lets us replicate the aroma of natural ingredients without depleting environmental resources, and it also allows us to create fragrances that we dream up. The flexibility of this method makes our scent possibilities virtually limitless!

    Does the perfume expire and how does the perfume age?

    Unopened perfume can last 3-5 years and opened perfume can last 2-3 years if stored well. Extend the shelf life of your purchase by keeping it away from heat, light and humidity. Store your perfume in the original box or a dark cool place.

    Technical expiration date on perfume is 24 months after opening. However, your perfume wont suddenly “go bad” overnight. You may noticed the quality beginning to degrade. Some clear signs include visible changes in the appearance/color of your perfume, and scent changes.

    Do you offer samples?

    Great question! We offer a complimentary 1.5ml perfume sample and tiny tin candle sample on all orders $75+. A perfume discovery set is also available for purchase here.
