Society candles are a simple and effective way to create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere in your home. They not only provide a warm and inviting ambiance, but they can also fill your space with a delightful scent. However, to get the most out of your candles, there are a few tips that you should keep in mind. In this blog post, we'll be sharing some advice on how to maximise the scent throw and burn time of your candles.
Burn your candle for at least two hours at a time
To get the best scent throw from your candles, we recommend burning them for at least two hours at a time. This will allow the wax to fully melt and create a larger pool of wax, which will release more fragrance into the air. If you only burn your candle for a short period, it may not have enough time to fully melt, resulting in a weaker scent.
Trim the wick before each use
Trimming the wick before each use is essential for ensuring a clean burn and maximum fragrance release. We recommend trimming the wick to 0.5mm by pinching any charred wick from the top. This will prevent the wick from getting too long, which can cause the candle to burn too hot and fast, resulting in a weaker scent. A trimmed wick also helps to reduce smoking and soot buildup, which can cause your candle to burn unevenly.
Consider the room size
When placing your candles, it's important to consider the size of the room. While we use a high fragrance oil blend to maximise the scent throw of our candles, if the room is larger, you may need to use multiple candles or move the candle closer to you to experience the full fragrance. In smaller rooms, one candle may be enough to create a strong scent, but in larger spaces, you may need to use multiple candles strategically placed throughout the room.
In conclusion
By following these simple tips, you can ensure that you get the most out of your candles. Not only will they create a warm and inviting ambiance, but they'll also fill your home with a delightful scent that will help you relax and unwind. So go ahead, light that candle and enjoy!
