Best Candle Making Scents Buying Guide
Before choosing the best candle making scents you should consider following options:
1. Top-note scent: This is the fragrance that you smell first upon opening the bottle. Top notes are typically lighter, fresher scents that evaporate quickly.
These scents are great for freshening a room without overpowering it. Top notes are great for candles because they evaporate quickly, leaving behind the middle and base notes.
2. Middle-note scent: This is the main scent that you smell when burning the candle. Middle notes typically have a rich, prominent scent.
They typically last longer than top notes, but not as long as the base notes. Middle notes are great for candles because they fill the room with a stronger, less fleeting scent.
3. Base-note scent: This is the scent you smell after the wax has melted and the middle and top notes have evaporated.
Base notes are typically the strongest and longest lasting of all scents. They are also typically the rich and deep scents.
Base notes are great for candles because they fill the room with a strong scent that lasts a long time.
4. Top-note, middle-note, and base-note blends: If you want to create a complex scent, you can blend different notes to create a unique fragrance.
For instance, you may want to create a middle and base note blend with a top note of fir for a Christmas scent.
To do this, you would blend essential oils of fir and sandalwood, with a top note of rosemary essential oil.
