Which scented candle has the strongest scent?
When searching for the perfect scented candle, it's not just about how it looks – it has to smell good too! But with so many different candles on the market, it can be hard to know which one will actually spread that delightful fragrance you’re expecting. So, which scented candle actually smells the most? Here are some tips and my own experiences to help guide you.
Wax matters!
The wax in a scented candle truly affects how much and how long it smells. I always use soy wax for my candles because it is great at distributing the fragrance evenly and slowly, as is coconut wax or a combination of both. They burn cleaner and longer than cheaper waxes, which makes the scent last longer. Plus, cheap waxes often contain unhealthy additives, so if you're an allergy sufferer, it might be a good idea to choose quality candles that don’t contain synthetic wax.
My journey as a candle maker
When I first started making candles, I had no idea how many details matter in getting the perfect scent. One thing I quickly learned was that each wax needs its own type of wick to burn properly and spread the fragrance in the right way. The wick must suit the candle so that it burns evenly, and if it doesn't, the fragrance won’t spread properly.
It’s also about finding the right balance between fragrance oil and wax. If the proportions aren’t correct, the scent may be too weak or too strong. I’ve tested different combinations to find the best mix for my candles to burn beautifully and smell amazing.
I greatly underestimated this process when I started on my journey. But that’s how it is sometimes. Trial and error, right?
Larger candles = more fragrance
If you want a candle to spread fragrance over a larger area, it's a good idea to choose a bigger candle. It burns longer and releases a more intense fragrance. Larger candles are perfect for open spaces or large rooms where you want the scent to fill the entire area.
Placement matters too
Where you place the candle affects how much it smells. If you have a scented candle near a window or a fan, the fragrance will spread faster and fill the room better. But if you place it in a corner with no air circulation, you might not get the same effect.
