Candles: Scenting
You may use essential oils or fragrance oils to scent
your candles however when using fragrance oils, make sure they are oil
based and not alcohol based. Use essential/fragrance oils at a rate of
1 teaspoon per pound wax. Too much oil will mottle your wax or ooze out
of the wax. If you find that your candle doesn't give off the scent as
it burns, you can try soaking the wick in the fragrance/essential oil
before making your candle. It's difficult to determine which scents will
work best and which ones will be heat activated. Experiment with various
types to see which work best.
