Making highly scented candles which are rich in fragrance is my number one priority as a candle maker. A large scent throw is something which I have come to love. As such my smell is different than others, because I am around the fragrances more. This is why I ask for the help of family and friends when I test my candles. I know everyone has a different liking when it comes to fragrances in candles of all types. I like making triple scented paraffin candles the best. This is why I have stayed away from trying a soy waxed candle. Always turning my nose up to soy with out even giving soy candles a try. My first attempt at using one hundred percent soy wax was a very enlightening experience.
I used wicks made from a cotton core. A cleaner burn was what I wanted from my soy test. I found this to be true. The fragrance with soy was not as strong to me. My fragranced votive candles did not want to come from the molds. My soy votive candles broke apart and as I tried to release them. I was frustrated and unhappy. The tealight and jar candles formed lovely. I was very happy with how those. Finding the right soy wax for my triple scented soy waxed candles would be my next attempt.
