Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methodologies for respectively delivering fragrances to desired environments. Formulations including volatile methylsiloxane fluid provide a clear, VOC-exempt, low surface tension fluid that will evaporate completely at room temperature. Because methylsiloxane fluid is itself an odorless fluid, it does not obscure or alter combined fragrances being otherwise delivered.

Abstract: A multi-phase candle is provided that contains at least two contiguous phases that occupy separate and distinct physical spaces, and are not emulsified or mixed to any significant degree. The phases may possess a different color (including transparent and opaque phases). The contiguous phases of the candle are generally formed from respective wax compositions that are the same or different, and contain one or more waxes (including blends thereof).

Abstract: A candle that is formed from an aqueous gel containing an aqueous phase and an oil phase is provided. During use, the aqueous gel is heated to cause the evaporation of one or more volatile fragrances contained within the gel matrix into the surrounding environment. In one particular embodiment, for example, the candle is heated with a warming device other than a wick.
