What is diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In simpler terms, it means that scent molecules travel from where there are more of them (near the candle) to where there are fewer (the rest of the room).
When you light any of our Karessa candles, the fragrance starts to diffuse into the surrounding air naturally.
How does a candle create diffusion?
Here’s how it works step-by-step:
-
You light the candle: The heat melts the wax and activates the fragrance oils.
-
Fragrance molecules evaporate: As the wax melts, the oils turn into vapors.
-
Molecules spread: These vapors diffuse into the air, filling the room gradually.
Our candle jars with fragrance are designed to ensure even wax melting and strong scent diffusion from start to finish.
Why do some candles have better diffusion than others?
The quality of diffusion depends on:
-
Wax type: Natural waxes like soy burn cleaner and diffuse more evenly.
-
Fragrance load: The amount of fragrance oil mixed into the candle.
-
Wick and jar design: These affect how evenly the candle melts and releases scent.
Handmade scented candles India by Karessa are crafted with optimal fragrance load and soy wax for efficient and safe diffusion.
