Reed Diffusers - Great for everyday fragrance

2009-09-12T12:40:00.000-07:00

If you haven't discovered reed diffusers yet then you are missing out.

Scented candles are great. They not only bring wonderful fragrances to your room but they add atmosphere and bring a warmth that only candles can.

Fragrance sprays are ideal for that quick and instant hit of intense fragrance for when candles are not appropriate or inconvenient.

Reed diffusers, in a way, are a combination of the two... they bring the wonderful fragrance to your room but in a convenient, clean and continuous manner. Gently adding your favorite fragrance all the time. They do not require power as with plugins, they last for weeks or months and are easily refreshed by topping up with the fluid when needed.

So, if you have not tried reed diffusers before then you should...

Here at Fragrance Heaven we highly recommend reed diffusers and so we will shortly be stocking Reed diffusers from Colony and Wax Lyrical.

Get them soon at Fragrance Heaven for Reed Diffusers

Product dimensions added

2009-08-07T03:11:00.000-07:00

Product weight, height and width added at the request of a customer.

http://www.fragranceheaven.co.uk

So, if you want something changed or added to our web site please... just ask!

New Web Site - NOW LIVE!

2009-08-04T04:59:00.000-07:00

Finally, after weeks of hard work, the new web site is finally live.

Please take a look at:

http://www.fragranceheaven.co.uk/

This is a huge step forward for us as it puts the web site on a new, up to date, technical platform that will allow us to be much more responsive to customer requirements and will allow us to introduce more offers in a more timely fashion.

Additional benefits include:

Previous orders - you will now be able to look at your previous orders allowing you to keep track of existing orders and also easily reorder product you have previously bought.
Coupons - we will be able to issue coupons that give discounts and special offers when redeemed
Club membership - the platform will allow us to offer club membership giving discounts and offers for members. This will be introduced early next year or even before.

We have already implemented this for existing customers giving them a 10% discount for the rest of August!
More shipping options - until now there have been no shipping options available when you ordered. Now, you will have the choice of DHL Nextday, DHL 72hrs or Royal Mail. More options may be introduced over the next few months.

This feature is one that was specifically requested by customers as often there is a deadline for delivery for presents.
Better eNewsletter Management - until now registration to our newsletter was automatic when purchasing from us and unsubscribing was only possibly by contacting us by email when we unsubscribed manually. Now, subscription and unsubscription is easily achieved yourself though the web site when logged in or via an unsubscribe link on our eNewsletters. You can opt in and out as you wish.

I would just like to say that we deliberately do not send out many eNewsletters as we personally find too many email communications annoying so we try to only send them only when we have something we feel you will want to know. One a month is the very most we would expect to send but normally less than that. Until now it has been only 2-4 times a year. Now we have an easy eNewsletter system in place we will probably send more than that but if it becomes annoying please, let us know rather than just unsubscribing. We very much listen and if it annoying we will change what we do rather than have you leave the list!
Product ratings and reviews - you can now leave your thoughts on the products and our service. Just leave a comment and rating at the bottom of the product page. You can easily get to the product page by logging in, reviewing your order where the products are links. Click on the product name and you will go to the page for that product where you can leave your thoughts.

All your ideas, both complementary or otherwise, are very welcome if you think it will be useful to others. It is also useful to us and if we see a certain product is not living up to your standards then we will drop it and try to source a better alternative.
Change your account details - you can now change all of your own account details including your username and password. This was only possible for a part of your details before so that will allow you to change email address and other account details.
Easier search - the search box on the site now searches the whole site instead of just specific fields so just type what you are looking for and see what comes up!
Multi-country and Multi-currency - Eventually, possibly later this year, we will introduce foreign sales. The new platform allows us to do this but we have to first put in place shipping methods that are affordable, so what out for this later this year.
Stores unused shopping cart - if you put something in your shopping cart but don't checkout before leaving the site then when you return to the site the shopping cart will still be there waiting for you to checkout. So feel free to window shop by putting items into your cart over the course of several visits.

So there you are. Please take a look, order and enjoy the new, more streamlined order process.

New Web Site Nearly Finished!

2009-07-28T11:41:00.000-07:00

FINALLY we have got around to building our new web site and a beauty it is too.

There are huge benefits for you:

Full text search - finally you will be able to search on any words and it will search the entire site and return the products you are looking for
Clearer layout
Account maintenance - you will be able to change any of your personal details including your password, user id and delivery addresses
Order status - when you order you will be able to see exactly what status your order is in and whether it has been dispatched
Order history - all your previous orders will be available for you to review allowing quick and easy re-ordering of items you have ordered before
Product reviews - you can post your thoughts about a product and read what others think before you order
better payment system allowing us to accept orders from Europe or the USA

Other benefits include an easier product maintenance system which means that we can get product changes up more quickly for you. An easier system for making changes to the information part of the site meaning we can keep the site more up to date with details of our business and allowing you to be more informed about our product ranges. Easier email system allowing us to keep you more informed of special offers via email. Plus a whole lot of technical improvements making the site more responsive and quicker all round.

We are hoping to introduce the new site in the next week or two so please keep an eye out for details.

You can keep up to date with all our very latest news via Twitter at http://twitter.com/homefragranceuk . Please follow us there and see what is happening from day to day.

New Esteban Candles

2009-03-09T04:41:00.001-07:00

It has been a while since I posted to the blog so I thought I would update you on what is happening here at Fragrance Heaven.

The web site has had a face lift and that seems to have gone down very well.

We have integrated the PayPay payment method into our main payment gateway of WorldPay. This should make it easier to pay with either a credit or debit card or PayPal. Google Checkout is still an option.

We have expanded out Esteban range and over the past few week we have introduced several new fragrances.

Last year saw us introduce Shearer Candles. Shearer are a UK candle maker with a huge range f quality scented, unscented, pillar, church and dinner candles. We have introduced some of their range and depending on sales we will consider expanding the Shearer range later this year. Shearer candles sell in Waitrose and John Lewis so you can see them "in the flesh" is you like before ordering. We will always aim to be cheaper than them so if you see that we are not then please let us know.

I will try to do more posts to the blog this year so please RSS it if you want to be informed when there are new posts.

Fragrance Heaven - Scented Candles and Home Fragrances

Existing Customer Special Offers

Well, we tried it for two months but it hasn't really enticed many more of our existing customers back and so we are stopping the Existing Customer Special Offers for now. We may reintroduce them later in the year.

Personal Fragrances

We are currently looking at introducing a range of personal fragrances (perfumes and Aftershaves etc) to complement our candle and home ranges. Look out for them in the next few months

Shop Soiled Items

We have added a new section to the web site - Shop Soiled Items. In here we will list items that are slightly damaged in some way, however, we will only list items that are 100% safe and 100% fuctional. Typical blemishes might be marks on packaging, church candles that are very slightly bent etc. Why not drop in and take a look at what is available from time to time?

Fragrance Heaven - Shop Soiled Items

Christmas Deliveries

We had several orders go missing or delivered very late over the Christmas period by Royal Mail. At Fragrance Heaven we pride ourselves in the speed of our delivery and almost all orders are usually shipped either the same day or next working day. This was then undermined by the poor performance of the Royal Mail by taking a week or more to deliver 1st class mail. Clearly, at a busy time there will be delays but we do not want our customers inconvenienced in this way and so we are investigating a courier only delivery service for next Christmas. Rest assured that we were not happy with the late deliveries and will be doing something about it for this year.

Yankee

We still have some Yankee Candle stock and so we will be reducing the price of all Yankee stock further still later this month. Please look in and check it out.

Soy Scented Candles are The Very Best

2007-11-19T00:12:00.000-08:00

Did you know that there are several different waxes used when making Scented Candles?

Many of us want to live a healthier lifestyle through organic foods, all natural skin and body products, etc but we may not be aware of the harmful effects of burning traditional paraffin wax candles in our homes. Fortunately, soy-based candles can help with virtually soot-free burning with the additional benefit of cool burning and hence better fragrance release.

Paraffin wax come from oil. It is a derivative of kerosene and as such it is a sort of "bottom of the barrel" scraping. It is not surprising then that paraffin wax candles release soot into the air when burned and this soot can settle on your walls and surfaces and even be breathed in by you and your family and friends.

Paraffin wax also contains 11 dangerous compounds as classified by the US Environmental Protection Agency, some of which have been labeled as carcinogenic. One of these compounds is carbon tetrachloride. Chronic exposure to elevated levels of this can cause liver, kidney, and central nervous system damage. The EPA has classified carbon tetrachloride as a “Group B2” compound, a human carcinogen. As a result, the American Lung Association has issued warnings regarding the burning of paraffin candles as a common, unrecognized cause of poor indoor air quality.

In contrast, soy-based wax candles are derived from all-natural soya beans that are grown all around the world. It is made by hydrogenating the oil of soya beans, which are a renewable resource limited only to how many soya beans are grown. Therefore, they support the farmer and help to relieve some of our dependency on oil. Because it is made of natural products, it is also biodegradable and not as harmful to our planet’s health.

One of the best testimonials I’ve read regarding the benefits of soy candles came from someone who is a self-proclaimed “candle-holic”. She said that she burned paraffin candles every evening in her family room and was starting to experience some symptoms of asthma. She purchased a small room air-cleaning system from a popular electronic store to try to ease her symptoms. She noticed that every time she cleaned the filter after burning candles, the filter was covered in the same black soot that she often found on her white upholstery. When she converted to using only natural soy candles, she not only found that her filter remained soot-free, but that her asthma symptoms also abated.

Anyone who has tried to get paraffin wax out of a tablecloth will be glad to hear that soy wax is easily removed from linens with soap and water. So, rather than using a hot iron and blotting the item with a cloth for hours in an effort to save a family heirloom, a simple dab with soapy water will restore the linens to be used again. Furthermore, this simple cleaning strategy allows us to wash soy candle containers and use them again.

An additional benefit of soy candles is the lower temperature at which they burn. While many people have been burned when candle wax spilled on their skin, I heard of a soy candle maker who accidentally spilled an entire shelf of liquefied soy wax candles on his leg. While his wife looked on in horror, he calmly wiped his leg with a nearby towel and didn’t have any redness or blistering. Since soy candles are burning at a lower temperature, it’s not hard to realise that they will therefore last longer (up to 10 hours per ounce) and continue to throw their room-warming fragrance for many hours after a traditional candle has burned out.

So, while many people buy their first soy candles as a “healthier” alternative to the traditional paraffin candle, most continue to purchase them for so many more reasons! Soy is most definitely BEST!

They are a bit more expensive than paraffin wax Scented Candles but as they burn more slowly and release much more fragrance they often work out to be better value for money.

Archipelago candles are excellent soy wax scented candles and so why not try them at Fragrance Heaven:
