Scent Oils

The recommended amount of fragrance to use can vary depending on a particular fragrance and the desired strength. We suggest starting at 2% (1/3 ounce per pound) and adjusting accordingly up to 5%(1 ounce per pound) We do not recommend exceeding 6% fragrance levels, higher fragrance loads will have an adverse effect on your candles burning properties. Higher fragrance loads may contribute to excessive smoke, coking (soot) and blooming (mushrooming).

We suggests adding the fragrance just before you pour the candle. Prolonged heating of the fragrance may contribute to some the fragrance being lost. It is very important to make sure you fully agitate the wax and the fragrance before pouring the wax.

Fragrances may vary in color and can cause discoloration to your finished candle. We suggest testing the fragrances in your application to see if the color may need adjustment.

Storage
We suggests storing your fragrances in a cool, dark place. Direct sunlight may cause excessive discoloration and crystallization. This will cause a very short shelf like for your fragrances. The shelf life of the fragrance will vary for each particular fragrance, anywhere from 6 months up to a year.
