Several factors can affect the strength of a candle scent, including:
-
Type of wax: Coconut & Apricot wax tend to hold fragrances better than paraffin wax.
-
Fragrance concentration: The amount of fragrance oil used in the candle can greatly impact its scent strength. Generally, candles with a higher fragrance concentration will have a stronger scent.
-
Wick size: The size of the wick can also affect how much fragrance is released. A larger wick will produce a stronger scent, but may also cause the candle to burn faster.
-
Burn time: Allowing the candle to burn for a longer period of time can help the fragrance to fully release and fill the room.
-
Room size: A larger room may require a stronger scented candle to fully permeate the space.
-
Placement: Placing the candle in an area with good air circulation can help to spread the scent around the room.
-
Storage: Properly storing candles can help to preserve their scent. Keeping them in a cool, dark place can prevent the fragrance from fading over time.
