Candle Fragrance Oil Makes the Candle Burning Experience More Enjoyable



 

The scented candles are used to render a healthy and cheery atmosphere to your home. Unlike the incense sticks they make your home fragrant without the trace of any smoke. This fragrance is the contribution of candle fragrance oil that adds a new dimension to the whole concept of candle making.

There are different ways of making scented candles. The candle fragrance oil is applied to a pre-blended wax that can be of many brands and many types. For each type of wax, there is a stipulated amount of candle fragrance oil. It is not possible to add oil exceeding that limit. This means, the quality of the scent does not depend on the quantity of the oil, but its quality. This restriction is imposed because of the character of the wax that has a sponge like quality. For this reason, wax can hold only a certain amount of oil and the excess oil will come out from the body of the candle like water dripping out from the sponge. According to this limitation, a mass of pre-blended wax can hold only 3 to 6% of fragrance oil.

However the “triple scent” category of candles can absorb greater amount of scented oil. It allows 1.5 oz. fragrance oil for per pound of wax. Naturally their aroma quality is much greater than the first category. Then there are super-scented candles that can contain even more; 2 oz. for per pound. The premium quality scented candles use only essential oils that have no toxic effect.

A scented candle containing good quality fragrance oil is free of dripping wax and smoke. These candles come in containers and as a result they do not leave any residue with the burnt out oil remaining in the container.

Candle fragrance oils are available in variety of aromas. Alongside the traditional fares of lavender and jasmine you can pick such contemporary theme based fragrances as ocean mist or summer breeze and like.

These beautiful candles rich in essential oils are vastly used in aromatherapy. You can bring them home just to create a different atmosphere. In today’s stressful lifestyle these fragrant candles gives you a feel of rejuvenation.
