Fragrance in Candles Fades with Time and Exposure
Yes, unburned scented candles can lose their fragrance over time. This happens due to natural evaporation or oxidation of fragrance oils when exposed to air, especially in warm or humid conditions. To retain their full aroma, we recommend keeping your karessa candles in airtight containers and away from direct sunlight or heat.
Soy Wax Holds Fragrance Better Than Cheap Alternatives
The type of wax matters—a lot. Soy wax candles, like those from Karessa Candles, are made with natural materials that hold onto scent molecules far better than paraffin or other synthetic blends. This allows our candles to maintain their luxurious fragrance, even after months of storage, especially when kept in proper luxury candle jars.
Quality Packaging Protects Your Candle’s Aroma
Packaging plays a crucial role in scent retention. A lid or sealed jar helps prevent the fragrance from escaping. That’s why our hand poured candles come in premium, reusable containers that aren’t just for looks—they also preserve scent. This makes them perfect for long-term use or even as timeless candle gift ideas.
Environmental Conditions Can Break Down Fragrance
Even if unburned, your candle's scent can degrade when stored in bathrooms or near kitchen heat. For best results, store aromatherapy candles in a cool, dry cabinet or drawer. Avoid temperature swings to maintain their delicate balance of oils and wax, so your best scented candles remain vibrant and effective.
Preserve Your Candle’s Scent with Smart Storage
To make the most of your eco-friendly candles, use their original packaging or place them in air-tight containers when not in use. By doing so, you preserve the elegant scent throw they’re known for, making your investment in home fragrance all the more worthwhile.
