Everything You Need To Know About Scented Candles
Most people think about scented candles first when it comes to home
scenting with good reason. Burning candles was the way to create
light for a long time, but with the appearance of scented versions,
it became the perfect way to decorate and fragrance our spaces. No
matter what is your purpose, to refresh the air, soothe the senses,
add up to the romance, there is a scented candle for every
occasion!
How do scented candles work?
Scented candles emit aroma even when unlit – this is called the
‘cold throw’ effect – but they release the most fragrance through
evaporation when burning. The process is the same to unscented
candles; when you light the wick, the heat melts the wax but since
it contains scent molecules too, the candle starts to release the
aroma.
The longer you burn the candle, the more the wax melts and the
stronger the fragrance gets. Larger candles have a bigger surface
area meaning they can release more aroma, so if you are looking for
scented candles that actually work in bigger rooms, consider buying
larger ones.
How are scented candles made?
Essentially the way to create scented candles is the same like
non-scented ones are made, only a container, wax, and wick are
needed, plus of course, some aroma has to be added.
The scented mixture (a combination of liquid wax and essential oils and/or other aromatic ingredients such as spices or fruit extracts) is poured into clean jars that have one or more wicks in. Companies and handmade candle makers use special essences that often take years to develop so that the result is a balanced scent.
If the wax cools down completely and all the ingredients settle,
the containers can be labelled, closed with a lid, put into boxes
and shipped so they are ready to bring amazing home scent into many
houses.
Are scented candles dangerous?
Burning a scented candle indoors does create a cozy atmosphere and
can help to improve the air quality, but like all other home
scenting products, not all of them are safe to use. The good news
is that if you know the possible dangers of fragrant candles, it
will be easy to choose products that are safe to use, so here I
list the key features you should check when stocking up on candles!
Don’t buy paraffin wax candles
Candles made from paraffin and petroleum-derived waxes can emit
toxic fumes and can cause respiratory problems, allergy or skin
problems in poorly ventilated areas, so the first thing you need to
check when buying candles is what material is it made from.
Opt for natural fragrances
Not only the wax itself, but also the added scent essence can be
toxic if it comes to fragrant candles. Inhaling synthetic aromas
can develop allergy, headache and infections, so make your research
on how the product you intend to buy is made to smell nice.
Choose naturally scented candles that are fragranced with essential oils, plant extracts or flowers instead of toxic chemicals.
Benefits of using scented candles in your home
Our house is the place where we spend most of our time, so it is
really important that we can feel really at home in it. With
careful planning and smart solutions, it is easy to create comfort,
but the little touches like thoughtful decoration and using home
scenting products that create an atmosphere. Placing around aroma
candles in your house will not only help to make your home heavenly
smelling, but also brings along benefits you never thought about.
Create ambience and atmosphere
You cannot change all the furniture whenever the season or your
mood is changing, but small things, such as decoration accessories
and even a different home scent can change the whole atmosphere of
your house.
Using aromatized candles is the best way to make a space not only
fresh-smelling, but also cozy. Lighting a typical fall or Christmas
candle on a cold winter day will instantly make you feel warm,
while when it’s time to promote freshness, spring candles that will
bring the blossoming outdoors into your home.
Improve the mood
Candles are not only for decoration and to bring peaceful ambience
to your home, but they can definitely help people in their daily
life to feel and perform better, the secret lies in choosing the
right aroma.
Choose scent according to the season
We change the decoration in our house when the season is changing,
and so it is with the fragrances. Woody, aromatic scents are the
best to use in fall, while the cold winter months require warm,
spicy notes.
When spring approaches and airy aromas replace heavier fragrances, shift to light floral home scents to brighten the ambience, then go for fruity and citrus aromas during summer.
Have enough candles and put them in the right place
To create the most ideal home fragrance, make sure you have the
right number of candles and they are placed in the correct place.
Generally, a good quality 8 oz candle is ideal to scent 10 sq ft,
so small rooms require smaller/less candles, while larger areas
need either smaller or one large extra-strong scented candle.
It is also important where you place the candles, not only for getting the best smell experience but also for safety reasons. Put them on a heat-resistant surface, not close to vents, keep them away from drafts and out of reach of kids and pets.
Pay attention to the wick size
To burn clean and properly, candles should have thin, braided wicks
that burn evenly with the wax with minimal carbon build-up. If the
wick is too small, it can’t melt the wax out to the edge of the
container that causes candle tunneling.
