Professional tips vs. DIY fails

Candle making often looks incredibly easy in social media videos, but the devil is in the details. Those who want to make high-quality scented candles at home often stumble upon avoidable mistakes that ruin the result. To prevent your project from ending in wax chaos, we've compiled the most common pitfalls.

The "don'ts" of candle making:

• Using crayons for coloring: A classic internet myth! Crayons contain pigments that clog the wick. The result? The candle barely burns or keeps going out. Professionals use special liquid candle dye or pigment chips.
• Add fragrance "by feel": Too much oil prevents the wax from absorbing it properly – the candle "sweats." Too little oil results in a candle that smells pleasant when cold, rather than a strong scent .
• The wrong pouring temperature: If you pour the wax too hot, deep holes (sinkholes) will form around the wick. If it's too cold, it won't adhere to the glass. Precision is key to a long-lasting scented candle .
• Inferior fragrance sources: Perfume or cheap aroma oils have no place in candles. Only high-quality fragrance oils , specially developed for heating in wax, guarantee a safe and room-filling fragrance experience.
