The number one thing that has a tendency to trip up beginners is that they automatically want to triple what the recommended ingredients are. By doing this, they change the candle, so other ingredients have to be compensated.
Q: When you make scented candles how long does they stay fresh?
Fragrance candles will retain the fragrance for years. You can literally have candles for ten years on your shelf. However, overtime, the fragrance will evaporate out. But, there will always be some level of fragrance retained in that wax.
Q: How can you stop the fragrance from evaporating?
Basically, the additives that are in the market will hold the fragrance in the wax longer.
Q: Are there any particular products that you can recommend?
Probably the Vybar products. They will help hold fragrances in the candles longer.
Q: How much do they extend the life of a candle?
They probably double it. It is a little bit expensive; it's generally anywhere from $3.25 a pound to $4 a pound, but you are using it in small quanities.
One of the neat aspects about scent is you can be as creative as you want. The market place for fragrance candles has changed dramatically over the last 7-8 years. Go back 8,9,10 years ago, and there wasn't a lot to choose from. The scented market place, these days, is more of emotion.
