6 Candle Scent Tips for a Fresher Home
Below are 6 candle scent tips so they make the best impact in your home:
1. Select high-quality wax – natural soy or beeswax is better at burning cleanly while holding onto scent better than paraffin-based options.
2. Cut your candle’s wick down to approximately 1/4 of an inch to prevent smoke from coming through and ensure even burning of the candle.
3. With multiple candles lit around a room for maximum impact and fragrance diffusion.
4. Don’t allow strong scents like clove or cinnamon take over; use more subdued notes such as vanilla to prevent conflict between notes.
5. Allow it to burn for some time until all the top layer of wax has completely melted through to avoid tunneling.
6. Store candles carefully after use so their fragrance remains strong; place them indoors away from direct sunlight.
