Selecting Quality Scented Candles

When selecting scented candles, it helps to understand exactly what makes a candle high quality.

In a quality made candle, wax and wick are vital. A quality made candle uses wax that burns cleaner and produces less smoke. Quality wax guarantees slower burning times, meaning that the candles last longer.

Quality made wicks are generally hand-straightened, zinc core wicks that will remain directly in the center of the candle causing the candle to burn evenly. In addition to keeping the wick straight, the zinc core also supplies a clean, non-smoky, hot burn producing a more intense fragrance. This is due to the hotter the heat, the more fragrance the candle emits.

Another important aspect of a quality candle is the fragrance. You always want to make sure that you purchase candles with "high concentration," "high infusion" or, "triple milled" fragrances. I repeated, always purchase candles with "high concentration," "high infusion" or, "triple milled" fragrances. By doing so, you are guaranteed that the fragrance will last as long as the entire candle and its scent will be as fragrant the last time you burn it, as it was the first time. The fragrance of cheaper candles quickly evaporate as soon as the candle is removed from its wrapping. Concentrated candles that are larger than votive size are usually purchased in containers with lids, which prevent their oils from evaporating when not in use.
