Three Steps to Choosing a Scented Candle

As an elegant woman who loves life, how can you live without a scented candle full of rituals? The answer is to look at three main things: the wax, the wick and the fragrance.

How to choose a scented candle?

The wax

Firstly, wax is the most basic component of a scented candle and is one of the main reasons for the difference in price between different kinds of scented candles. Ordinary candles use mostly paraffin wax, which is relatively low cost and easily produces black smoke, and the harmful substances produced by poor quality wax when burning can also affect respiratory health.

Paraffin wax candles are quicker to fragrance and smell better than other waxes, but the downside is that you don't know if it is toxic. Plant waxes such as coconut wax, soya wax, almond wax and carnauba wax are more commonly used, as they are plant waxes and have no adverse effects on the human body. Beeswax is a residual oil from the refining of beehives, which is a little more expensive and is less commonly used on the market.

Wax cores

The next wick is a cotton rope wick, which is easy to light, but has the disadvantage of releasing carbon dioxide when it is extinguished. There are also wooden wick candles, which will burn with a splintering sound and may have a bad smell if the wood is not good, and will drop black splinters after burning for a long time.

Some premium fragrances use selected carbon-free and lead-free wicks, which do not produce harmful gases when burning and do not emit smoke when extinguished. The wick lasts longer, allowing the wax around the wick to burn more fully.

Fragrance

The scent is what sets a scented candle apart from the average candle, the price of the fragrance and the method of preparation is more expensive for a truly premium scented candle. But fragrance is something that everyone has different preferences for, there is no high or low. Newcomers can start with floral and fruity fragrances, and remember the ingredients of those they like and those they particularly dislike, so they can avoid them next time.

Warm reminders

• Store candles in a cool, dry place to prevent them from melting and affecting the fragrance emanation when they are re-lit.

• chilling the scented candles in the fridge for a few hours before using them can effectively slow down the burning of the candle.

• Trimming the wick regularly will help the candle to burn evenly and prevent black smoke, ideally a wick length of 5-8mm.

• Do not light the candle for too long at a time, three to four hours maximum.

• avoid children and pets being able to come into contact with burning candles.

• A glass cover is recommended for extinguishing candles. It is simple, convenient and aesthetically pleasing and prevents the fragrance from escaping.
