Scented Candles
Scented Candles are a delightful way to add atmosphere and ambiance to any space, while also offering a wide range of fragrances to stimulate and relax your senses. These candles are available in various shapes, sizes, and fragrances, and can be made from different types of wax, such as paraffin, beeswax, soy wax, or vegetable wax.
How to use a scented candle?
-
Choose the right scented candle: Select a candle with a scent that matches your mood or the atmosphere you want to create. Scented Candles are available in a wide range of fragrances, from soothing lavender to invigorating citrus.
-
Placement: Place the scented candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials, children, and pets. Ensure the candle is in a well-ventilated area, but avoid drafts to prevent uneven burning and soot formation.
-
Lighting: Trim the candle wick to about 0.5 centimeters before lighting it. This ensures an even flame and helps reduce soot formation. Use a long lighter or match to light the wick and let the candle burn for at least 30 minutes, allowing the wax to melt evenly and the scent to disperse well.
-
Safety: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the candle before leaving the room or going to sleep. Keep burning candles away from drafts, curtains, and other flammable materials.
-
Extinguish the candle: Use a candle snuffer or a heat-resistant spoon to gently extinguish the flame without disturbing the melted wax. Avoid blowing out the flame, as this can cause smoke and soot.
Burn time of a scented candle
The burn time of a scented candle varies depending on the size, type of wax, and quality of the candle. Small scented candles can burn for 10 to 20 hours, while larger candles can burn for up to 60 hours or more. High-quality scented candles with thicker wicks and more concentrated fragrance oil generally have a longer burn time.
To maximize the burn time of your scented candle, ensure the wick is always trimmed to the correct length and let the candle burn long enough to create an even wax pool. This allows the candle to burn evenly and efficiently, allowing you to enjoy the delightful scent for longer.
