Fragrances or Scent

Candle scent

There are two types of Wax Fragrance or scent which are widely available in market:

1)Solid Blocks Fragrances
2)Oil Based Fragrances.

Solid Blocks Fragrances
If you use a fragrance from a block, you will have to scent your wax candles by shaving some of the fragrance off the block. This can be somewhat trial and error, as you don’t want to add too much. So only shave a little bit at first, stir it into the melted wax until it melts too, and then test the smell. If the fragrance is still too weak, you can add more. Just make sure your wax is still melted thoroughly when you do so.

Oil Based Fragrances
For an oil based fragrance, add approximately 30 ml of fragrance for every kg of wax. You can also mix fragrances here. So, for instance, if you decide you want mangos-teen and jasmine, then use a mix of both fragrances but the same 30 ml total fragrance oil. Don’t forget, you can also experiment in how to scent wax using more unusual fragrance combinations. You never know, you might invent a new fragrance.

Note : Make sure you stir the fragrance into the melted wax completely. This will ensure that, whatever you make with the wax, will have a consistent fragrance from beginning to end.
