FAQ

What wax types work best with Midnight Story?

It performs exceptionally in soy, beeswax, and coconut wax blends. For soy-dominant mixes, a 9% load is recommended; for beeswax-heavy blends, increase to 10-11% to ensure optimal scent throw. Always test with 1-2oz batches before scaling production.

Why is 96-hour curing necessary?

The complex notes—especially the leather and amber base—require time to bond with wax molecules. Rushing curing can result in muted base notes or uneven scent distribution, reducing the "nocturnal character" that defines Midnight Story.

Can it be used in diffusers other than reed styles?

Yes. It works in ultrasonic diffusers (use 5-7 drops per 100ml water) and nebulizers (3-5% concentration). For alcohol-based spray bottles, dilute to 10-15% for room sprays that last 4-6 hours per application.

How does cold throw compare to hot throw?

Midnight Story excels in both: cold throw (unlit scent) is strong enough to scent a 150 sq ft room, while hot throw (burning) deepens the leather and amber notes, creating a more immersive experience.
