Choosing the Right Fragrance for Candles Making
Since the first candle being documented back in 200 BC in Han China, candle making has grown into a $3.14 billion industry today, proving that these elegant and practical products have withstood the tests of time. And with that reality also stems the fact that candle fragrance manufacturers or fragrance companies like ours, Royal Aroma, are in high demand as well. We take great pride in being a leader in our field, creating diverse, entirely custom candle fragrances that leave lasting, odor eating impressions for our customers.
However, though we have perfected our strategies and use of innovative methods that optimize candle effectiveness and aromas, not everyone might be entirely confident about the different details that lurk under the surface that go into choosing the best one. To give you some more insight and guidance, we have laid out a comprehensive overview of key information that will help you on your fragrance candle mission.
Key Definitions to Have On-Hand
When it comes to fragrances and candle selection in general, there are several different definitions that you may or may not have heard floating around. To clear the air of any confusion, as well as provide you with more insight, we decided to list the vital ones.
Scented Candles: Made from fragrant oils mixed with wax, scented candles, when burned, give off aromas that can fill a space up with wonderful scents. These candles are great to light when guests are over or to enjoy the ambiance they develop all to yourself. As great as they may be, a fundamental thing to remember here is that scented candles cannot eliminate odors on their own. Though the fragrance can cover it up, it will not work to remove bad smells, which brings us to our next definition.
Metazene: Metazene is one of the most effective odor neutralizers on the market. It is able to destroy odor particles in the air at a molecular level, perfect for those who want a candle that does more than just protrude a wonderful scent. With this added into what is called odor eliminating candles, it can get rid of smells such as mildew, mold, garbage, and pet stenches rather than masking them.
Paraffin Wax: Paraffin wax is a soft, colorless, solid wax made from saturated hydrocarbons. Though it is often seen in candle fabrication, this material, when burned, leaves behind soot and releases toxins into the air, such as toluene and benzene. Both of these are hazardous chemicals that can foster chronic illnesses over time.
Soy Wax: Soy wax is a natural product and becoming more popular in candle making today. It is non-toxic, burns longer than paraffin wax, and is either made from 100% soybean oil or a combination of other non-soy materials (like vegetable products).
Choosing the Best Fragranced Candle – What to Look For
You might be thinking that choosing a fragranced candle is an easy task, and it certainly can be one if you know what to look for. You see, there is more to it than picking one that you think smells the most euphoric.
Soy Wax Vs. Paraffin Wax: Using the definition list above, one of the first things you should do when looking for a quality fragrance candle is seeing what it is made out of. Overall, soy is the better and much healthier choice to go with, as it emits less soot, smoke, and is sustainable, renewable. It also tends to burn much longer, so even though it might cost more upfront, you are gaining more value from it in the long run.
Think About Its Usage: Do you want a candle that will get rid of target odors, or one that illuminates a pleasant scent into the air? There is a big difference between odor eliminating and scented candles, so depending on your motives will guide you in the right direction.
The Scent: This is where our specialty steps up. What is the scent you are looking to obtain? Or, if you are someone producing from scratch, what is the overall vibe, feeling, and emotions you want your fragrance to bring to light? Do you want bold or soft, uplifting or calming? These are all things to consider with the scent you choose to pick or create with us, but rest assured, we can make the process seamless.
Chemicals Used: In a world where health and wellness are top priorities, choosing a candle that is more natural (like soy listed above) is theoretically the best direction to go down. Yes, candles that contain harsh chemicals tend to be cheaper, but this also means they can protrude unpleasant odors/toxins into the air and into your lungs.
Burn Time: Burn time is something that both candle producers and consumers tend to forefront. After all, creators want to have the upper hand against the competition in terms of burn quality, and consumers want to have the most value for the money they spend. In summary, burn time is a direct reflection of the candle’s quality and worth, so it is critical you look into this aspect in conjunction with the rest to ensure you get the best one you can.
