| Q: |
How much fragrance should I add to my candle? |
| A: |
The answer you would think should be straightforward but, unfortunately, that is not the case. The answer is totally dependent on many variable factors: the type of candle being made, the fragrance selection and the wax formulation.
One of the most common recommendations is to use 1 ounce of fragrance for each pound of wax. In some instances if you're using our Ultimate Scents or our Cinnamon and Mulberry, you may be able to use less. Scent that are floral or fruit based like lemon may require a little more.
You should also test each of your fragrances with your wax formulation.
One important note with fragrances is there is such a thing as diminishing returns. That means you may get the same scent throw with the fragrance if you add 7% as you do if you use 9%. |
