Purchasing Fragrance

• Candle fragrance containers are commonly sold in 1/4 to 1/2 of an ounce sizes. Some candle fragrance supply companies offer free samples to customers. Fragrances for scenting candles and essential oils can be used to create incense and scented drawer liners. Directions for candle making can accompany the purchased fragrance oil, but directions or recipes for candle making aren't always included in the purchase. The amount of oil used determines the strength of the candle fragrance.
  
  

Wax and Soy-Based Candles

• Fragrances for candle making can come for use specifically with wax or soy-based candles. Some of the most popular and readily available candle fragrances fall into the categories of traditional, designer, oil blends, zodiac, aromatherapy blends, essential oils and Feng Shui themed scents. Candle makers can find online assistance with candle scent questions on the fragrance supplier's website. Recipes for mixing scents, matching the right scent with the season or event, as well as trouble-shooting advice are all available.
  
  

Arometherapy Blends

• Aromatherapy blends are categorized not by scent, but by type, and are often used in mood development and spa massage settings. The four main aromatherapy candle fragrance blends include sore muscle therapy, energizing blend, tranquility and sensual warming, which is a musk style scent.
  
  

Traditional Fragrances

• Traditional candle fragrances include African Rain, Tropical, Freesia, Clean Linen, Tobacco, Lavender, Clean Cotton, Vanilla, Rose, Orange, Frankincense-Myrrh, Blue Bonnet and Blackberry Sage Tea.
