The choice for scent is yours, but some natural scents are stronger than others. Vanilla essence, makes for a strong vanilla scent and is typically the most commonly used fragrance in home candle making. Combinations of other scents can be used to create specialty scents-- popular ‘recipes’ include ‘holiday’ fragrances – pine scent with cinnamon added, or ‘rose cream’ – rose essential oil with vanilla added. You will only need a small amount of scent– around half a teaspoon will produce a good clear scent. Soy Candles

Where will you be placing your candle? Do you wish a zingy scent for the kitchen? Citrus scents such as orange or lemon are best for this. For an aromatherapy experience, use lavender and geranium, or lilac. For a bedroom candle, use rose oil for sensuality, or eucalyptus for soothing a cold – but remember to never leave a candle burning if you are in danger of falling asleep – this could lead to a serious risk of house fire.
