Richly Scented Candles

Richly Scented Candles

Richly scented candles can come in a variety of colors and ideally will be made from either soy wax or beeswax. Both soy wax and beeswax are a great choice for richly scented candles because they offer a longer burn than paraffin and they also burn a lot cleaner so you will not have the volume of soot that you get with paraffin candles. (Soy wax is now recognized as the leading wax used for richly scented candles). This is important for people who make their own candles in jars as you do not want to have your jars for your richly scented candles to be burnt black whereas it is a simple matter of just washing out any excess was if you have used soy wax or beeswax.

Richly scented candles usually contain fragrance oils, such as those you find in lotions, soaps and shampoos. If the aroma is especially appealing then richly scented candles can provide a warm atmosphere to your room where you be so relaxed you will not want to leave!

Richly scented candles can also be used to mask some of the odors in your home such as from your pet or from your cooking. There are many types of richly scented candles like jar, pillar, votive and chunk candles so you should be able to find a candle that will look and smell nice in your room.

The demand for richly scented candles has come from the alternative medicine practise oof aromatherapy. (Aromatherapy is a generic term that refers to any of the various traditions that make use of essential oils sometimes in combination with other alternative medical practices and spiritual beliefs.) Popular use of these products include massaging products (including candles), medicine, or any topical application that incorporates the use of essential oils to their products. When you include these essential oils within your richly scented candles you can feel relaxed and possibly reap the health benefits of the fragrant oils.
