Your wax, wick, fragrance load, vessel size, cure time, and fragrance oil can ALL affect the finished candle.

Changing one component can change the way your candle performs.

That's why testing is such an important part of candle making.

Don't get discouraged by a failed test. Every test gives you information you can use to make the next candle better.

FRIDAY CANDLE MAKER CONFESSIONS

Be honest.

How many fragrances do you currently own?

Under 10
10–25
26–50
51–100
100+ and we probably shouldn't talk about it

No judgment here. We sell fragrance oil, so we're technically part of the problem.

CANDLE MAKING TIP

Never judge a fragrance only by how it smells straight from the bottle.

Fragrance can smell completely different once it is blended with wax, cured, and burned.

Pour it. Cure it. Test it. Take notes.

Testing may take time, but it can make the difference between an okay candle and an amazing one.

What candle-making lesson did YOU have to learn the hard way?
