This post from the Scent Snob archive is all about main event episode 66, one of the candle, diffuser and fragrance topics we have covered.

Altru, meaning “unselfishly giving of one’s self to others”. This unique collection was inspired by the beauty and handcrafted artistry of cultures around the world. The inspiration for Altru, by Gamillah, comes from a desire to connect with an enormous universe of consumers who aspire to improve the world in every way possible – who want tomorrow to be better than today. The proceeds from the Altu Collection support the In a Perfect World Foundation which aims to empower children to become compassionate and socially conscious leaders. “By supporting Altru, you embrace a cause that seeks to give children a stronger voice in making the future more ‘perfect’ for us all,” says Manuela Testolini, the Founder and CEO of Gamillah, Inc.
There are eight fragrances in the collection:
Appreciation: Tiare & White Freesia
Harmony: Tanenashi Persimmon
Inity: Burmese Woods & Honey
Artistry: Masala Chai
Integrity: Persian Lilac & Bamboo
Remembrance: Grapefruit & Italian Rosemary
Wellness: White Clove & Wild Ginger
Humanity: Dark Amber & Spice
These scented soy wax candles burn beautifully for 70 hours and they are poured in a hammered copper pot. All of the fragrances above, except for Humanity, are also available in incense and diffusers. If you are interested in any of the fragrances or products that we do not currently have in stock, please let us know. We are happy to order any fragrance or product in the core Altru collection.

Good to know about main event episode 66
If you are enjoying main event episode 66, a few simple habits help you get the most from it.
- Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before every burn so the flame stays steady and clean.
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the container to help prevent tunneling.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, fans and anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Stop burning when about half an inch of wax is left in the container, and let it cool fully before relighting.
