Selecting the Right Scented Candles for You

Always buy candles with “high concentration,” “high infusion,” or “triple milled” on the label regarding fragrance.

Scented candles are a superior way to add a pleasing ambience to any room of your house. Unscented candles can be delightful, providing a radiant focal point, but scented candles add a whole new dimension by filling the air with fragrance during the day or night. Affordable scented candles come in many different fragrances and blends to create the mood you want.

To select the scented candles that are right for you, you need to know something about what makes a candle high quality. The type of wax and wick are the most important factors. High-quality wax burns cleaner and longer, with less soot and smoke than low-quality candles. The slow burning time means that even though they are more expensive than cheap candles, they last longer.

A high-quality scented candle burns evenly. To ensure that the wick will remain in the center of the candle throughout its life, some companies have hand-straightened, zinc core wicks in their candles. This produces an even burn. The zinc core provides for a clean, smoke-free, hot burn. The hotter the burn, the more intense the fragrance.

Perhaps the most important element of a scented candle is its fragrance. Always buy candles with “high concentration,” “high infusion,” or “triple milled” on the label regarding fragrance. These terms mean that the fragrance is distributed evenly throughout the candle wax and the candle will smell as fragrant at the end of its life as it did at the beginning. Cheaper candles have a coat of fragrance only on the outside of the candle so that it will smell good in the store. Candles with a concentrated scent that are larger than votive size should be purchased in containers with lids to prevent the fragrance oils from evaporating when not being burned.
