Which scented candle smells the best?
When you're looking for the perfect scented candle, it's not just about how it looks - it should actually smell good too! But with so many different candles on the market, it can be hard to know which one will really spread that lovely scent that you expect. So, which scented candle actually smells the best? Here are some tips and my own experiences to help you along the way.
The wax matters!
The wax in a scented candle really affects how much and how long it smells. I always use soy wax for my scented candles because it is very good at spreading the scent evenly and slowly, as well as coconut wax or a combination of both. They burn cleaner and longer than cheaper waxes, which means the scent lasts longer. In addition, cheap waxes often have many unhealthy additives, so if you are allergic, for example, it may be a good choice to buy quality candles that do not contain good and natural wax.
My journey as a candlemaker
When I first started making candles, I had no idea how much detail goes into creating the perfect scent. One thing I quickly learned was that each wax needs its own type of wick to burn well and spread the scent properly. The wick has to fit the candle so it burns evenly, and if it doesn't, the scent can't spread properly.
It's also about finding the right balance between fragrance oil and wax. If you don't get the proportions right, the scent can be too weak or too strong. I've been experimenting to find the best combination to make the candles both burn beautifully and smell really nice.
I greatly underestimated this process when I started my journey. But that's how it is sometimes. Redo - do it right, right?
Bigger candles = more fragrance
If you want a candle to spread its scent over a larger area, it's a good idea to choose a larger candle. It burns longer and produces a more intense scent. Larger candles are perfect for open spaces or large rooms where you want the scent to fill the entire space.
Location is also important
Where you place the candle affects how much it smells. If you have a scented candle near a window or fan, the scent will spread faster and fill the room better. Place it in a corner without air circulation, and you may not get the same effect.
