Now this is hands down the best advise and I wish it was out there sooner... Choose good quality fragrances but choose the ones you like, NO OVERTHINKING... Your buyers will dictate which one you'll keep in your candle line anyways... Embrace your results as lessons and keep moving forward. Put your product in people's hands because you will be surprised at the amount of thigs we worry about and people don't even notice. Do use the feedback and slowly improve over time. Great job as always Wade!

👍So true more isn’t always better. Some scent oils are not good even though they’re sold for candles. One big candle we made had lots of scent oil but it just made the candle wax burn up quicker in a kind of tunnel down the center. We make them just for us but it’s so disappointing.

I can’t remember how many waxes I went through over the years of learning how to pour a candle I would buy. Each one was better than the one before. I’ve finally found the perfect wax that is luxurious, so very easy to work with, economical and the supplier is close to my state. I’ve found GEMS of FO from several suppliers, however I only have a few fragrances that are not blends. I LOVE blending fragrances and I will probably have fragrances that won’t smell like other chandlers candles. I absolutely document the percentages and fragrances of each oil I use. I perform four different tests which take place over a two week period and learn something from each test and note anything that stands out. Thank you for taking the time to record this video, Wade! This is a great video too!

The thing about a candle's throw is fragrance is about perception. It's almost impossible to please everyone because like myself some people don't like strong candles and some people need the wallpaper to curl. I've also found that some fragrance notes have more gravitas. Your strongest vanilla candle is not going to overpower your strongest cinnamon candle. I think it comes down to one's own interpretation of how strong a candle is and finding a brand that works for you.

But, the WAY you said several things really resonated with me. For instance - when you said the diameter/size of the jar would impact scent throw... That is so obvious but was a duhh moment for me. Historically I've only offered one size jar (12 oz status jar) but I'm currently experimenting with 4 oz tins and the 9 oz straight sided. I'm excited to share the tips about location/environment along with proper sized candles. Thank you!

@BlackTieBarn
2 жыл бұрын
Not really because everyone uses different materials and have different opinions on what is good HT. I just aim for a pleasant smell and strength. I wouldn't use a large 3 wick csndle in small room or bathroom. That's just over powering. But a small 2" diameter candle I wouldn't put in ny kitchen or rec room area because I'll hardly smell it. It's very subjective obviously. It's hard to say a certain size per room though because a wqx like 4627 will be stronger in a 2" jar than most soys in a 3" jar for example

Hi Wade, Today is day one for me on my Candle Making journey. Just one thing is confusing me from everything I've seen, listened to and read today - scents. I totally agree the scent is probably the most important aspect, so my question is which to use, Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils? I hear you mention Fragrance Oils, but never Essential Oils. I live in the UK and every web site I've looked at for Scents seems to be all about Essential Oils, so maybe its a USA versus UK thing, I'm not sure. So any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Adrian.

Welcome to the party! :) Definitely fragrance oils. The are designed to be used for this purpose, Better performance, and safe when used correctly.

Hi wade! I Found your video and I can’t seem to figure out this issue I’m having with my scent throw. I made a batch a few months ago with 8% fragrance oil load, the scent throw was great! I just made another tester this week of the exact same candle, same fragrance oil but I did 9% load, same process, jar, wick all of it! And my tester has no scent throw. After going through everything the only thing I can think of is my fragrance oil might have expired? So my question is would an expired fragrance oil have no scent throw?
@BlackTieBarn
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Bethany. That is strange and I've experienced it too. I doubt the oil expired unless it was several years old. And that usually wouldn't cause no throw. Most likely just a rancid type smell. But.. its possible. Usually it's one the of the following: The supplier or Manufacturer changed the oil. For example, I've had oils become much worse after it was re-engineered. A few candle science oils I stopped using after they were reformulated to the new "clean scent" branding. The throw wasn't there anymore. So it's worth asking them. It can also be changes in the wax if your having issues with multiple scents. It can also be your process. Did anything else change? Temp add FO at, or anything else?

Not entirely sure what you mean. For the most part, unless using gel wax..flash point really not something I've ever noticed makes a difference in my candles

Wade, what are your thoughts on White Barn/BBW candles? Goose Creek? Yankee? I’m a collector (mostly white barn/BBW) and am looking for better quality candles and scents!

I personally prefer goose screen then bbe then Yankee in that order. But that's preference.

do you know what is the reason a scent throw dwindles after a few hours? thank you 💙💙

It can be for a few reasons. Super soft waxes sometimes let it escape quickly. Sometimes overwicked and very hot or deep melt pool which causes it to evaporate wick as well. Sometimes poor quality oil or not thoroughly mixed in

Excellent video! What do you think of using a heat gun to get out the air bubbles in a candle? I have used one extensively, and now I'm worried I messed up the HT and CT.

It's very common and okay for sure. Just do it on low and slowly. Too hot and too close can scorch the wax and destroy the FO

Thank you for your videos.....Question. When you are adding a couple of fragrances.....I use 1 oz per pound of soy or beeswax. Would I add an ounce of each scent or combine the oils to make 1 oz? Thank you
