Why Scent Pairing Matters
Cannabis aromas come from terpenes such as myrcene, limonene, and linalool. These volatile organic compounds attach to indoor air particles and persist. The right candle neutralizes them through complementary or contrasting scent chemistry. Modest & Co. uses enzymatic blends to break down these molecules safely for cleaner air.
1. Kush Qween - Earthy Balance for Musky Strains
With deep sandalwood and patchouli notes, Kush Qween mirrors earthy terpenes to absorb and reduce odor. The coconut-apricot-wax formula is clean-burning, low-VOC, and pet-safe for daily use.
2. Sativa Diva - Citrus Pop for Fresh Contrast
Bright lemon and orange oils cut through heavy cannabis notes. Citrus oxidation helps break down odor molecules (National Institutes of Health). Burn before or after a session for a quick reset that feels light and uplifting.
3. Lavender Lull - Herbal Calm for Evening Balance
Lavender Lull blends soft lavender and herbs to complement floral terpenes like linalool. This subtle pairing harmonizes scent rather than overpowering it, perfect for nighttime relaxation.
4. Tangerine Dream - Spiced Citrus for Lively Spaces
Tangerine Dream mixes bright tangerine with clove spice to refresh larger rooms. The warm-spice edge accelerates odor breakdown while adding an inviting atmosphere.
5. Crossfade - Minty Reset After Any Session
Crossfade combines mint and eucalyptus for an instant clean slate. Menthol compounds cool and clear lingering musty air. Ideal for post-session freshness.
Pro Tips for Odor Control
- Burn candles 30–60 minutes before guests arrive for a neutral baseline.
- Layer with Odor Killa sprays for full-room coverage.
- Trim wicks to 1/4 inch to ensure clean combustion and longer burn time.
