Selecting the right fragrance oils is key to creating candles that smell amazing and burn cleanly:

Natural vs. Synthetic: Natural essential oils offer authentic aromas but can be more subtle. Synthetic fragrance oils deliver stronger scent throw and a wider variety of fragrances.

Quality Matters: Look for oils labeled "candle grade" or "fragrance grade". These are formulated to blend well with wax and burn safely.

Testing: Always conduct small batch tests to see how the fragrance throws in cold and hot throws. Adjust fragrance load as needed.

Popular Scents: Vanilla, lavender, citrus blends, and seasonal spices are perennial favorites.
