Scent Description
I created this scent to be intentional and a gentle reminder that better days are ahead.
Life can feel heavy sometimes. Overwhelming. Loud. And there are moments when you need that reminder & a little boost of energy... a little pick-me-up to refresh you.
It opens bright and hopeful - sparkling nectar and sunlit citrus create an uplifting start. Yuzu zest adds a crisp brightness that wakes everything up. Then it softens. Apple blossom and fig leaf bring a gentle, grounded sweetness, while hints of wild mint keeps it fresh and airy. As it settles, cashmere musk, warm amber, and hinoki woods wrap around you to give you a little hug.
The beauty of Better Days is that it's yours to interpret. You don't have to carry the same intention it was created with - you can position it however it serves your brand and your customers best. Wellness-focused self-care. Mood-boosting everyday luxury. Fresh & optimistic.
Top notes: Sparkling Nectar, Sunlit Citrus, Yuzu Zest

All of Midwest Fragrances are the best!!! Cold and Hot scent throws are out of this world!!!
Better Days is a beautiful, comforting fragrance that feels uplifting without being overly sweet or overpowering. It has a warm, inviting quality that I think would work especially well in a candle designed to create a cozy, peaceful atmosphere. The fragrance has enough character to stand on its own while still feeling very approachable. I can easily see this becoming a customer favorite for an everyday home fragrance.
I purchased the sampler bottle, tested and was blown away. This is such a beautiful fragrance, 10/10 hot throw. Don't sleep on this.
Beautiful! Love everything I have ordered!
Obsessed! Its so bright and cheerful. Has such an amazing citrus scent. Based on reviews i went ahead and ordered the 16 ounce and I’m so glad i did! I cant wait to make candles with this one.
This scent is absolutely wonderful. I have used it in room spray, wax melts, candles and more! A perfect spring time scent.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you!

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
