What should I look for when buying scented candles?

Would you like to buy scented candles, but have no idea what to look for when buying a scented candle? No worries! We have compiled a list of points to look out for when buying a scented candle. Paying attention to these will ensure that you make the right purchase.

• Fragrance: The most important thing to pay attention to is obviously the scent of the candle. Look carefully at the product information of the product to see the scent notes. This will give you a good idea of the scent.
• Number of burning hours: Do you want a candle that lasts a long time or are you satisfied with a little less burn time? The number of burn hours tells you how long you can enjoy your scented candle.
• Type of wax: candles can be made from different types of wax. Is durability important to you? Then choose a natural type of wax. Read the product information to see which wax a scented candle is made from.

How should you use scented candles?

Scented candles must be used properly if you want to enjoy them to the fullest. If you don't, the candle may start to tunnel. This means that wax sticks to the side of the jar and creates a tunnel inside the candle. The wax that sticks to the side can no longer be burned, so you will enjoy fewer burning hours. To make sure you get the most out of your scented candle, we have compiled the tips below for you.

• 1. When you light the candle for the first time, burn the candle for at least 1 hour and a maximum of 1.5 hours. This ensures that the wax and fragrance are activated and the wick becomes saturated with the scented wax.
• 2. Before lighting the scented candle again, it is good to check how long the wick is. It is recommended that the wick be no longer than 5 mm. This will prevent soot formation.
• 3. Every time you light the candle it is advisable to let it burn until the top layer of wax is completely melted. This will prevent tunneling.
• 4. Scented candles should not be left burning for more than 3 hours at a time. This prevents high temperatures that are detrimental to the quality of the fragrance.

How long do scented candles last?

Scented candles stay good for an average of 2 years unopened. Once you start using them, it is recommended that you use them up within a year. That way, the scent will stay the best and your candle will last the longest.
