What kind of wax gives the best scent throw?
The scent throw is how well a candle distributes fragrance. For a strong scent:
-
Use natural soy wax, coconut wax, or a soy blend
-
Avoid paraffin if you want a cleaner, eco-friendly burn
Our eco-friendly candles are made with soy wax for excellent hot and cold scent throw.
How much fragrance oil should you add?
Adding the right amount of fragrance oil is critical. Use:
-
6% to 10% fragrance load (by weight of wax)
-
For example: 100g wax = 6g to 10g of fragrance oil
This technique is followed in our handmade scented candles India to ensure the perfect scent intensity.
At what temperature should fragrance be added?
The fragrance should be added at the correct temperature:
-
Let your wax cool slightly to around 65–70°C (150–160°F)
-
Then stir in the fragrance oil gently but thoroughly
This preserves the scent and improves the throw—just like we do with all Karessa candles.
Do the wick and container matter?
Absolutely. A good wick and proper jar size can make or break your scent distribution:
-
Use a cotton wick suited to your jar diameter
-
Choose heat-safe, well-sized candle jars with fragrance
A poorly sized wick can lead to tunneling, reducing fragrance release.
How can I make the scent last longer in the air?
To increase longevity of the scent in your room:
-
Let the candle cure for 48–72 hours before burning
-
Burn it for at least 1 hour per inch of diameter on the first use
-
Store it in a cool, dark place to protect scent oils
Our best candle aroma 2025 products are cured perfectly before shipping for optimal scent performance.
Should I use essential oils or fragrance oils?
While essential oils are natural, fragrance oils are specially designed for candles:
-
Fragrance oils provide stronger, more lasting scents
-
They are tested for safe burning and wide scent options
We use high-quality fragrance oils in our luxury candles online India to ensure deep, rich scent profiles.
