A home decor item, aromatherapy or just to help you unwind, scented candles are a growing feature of our everyday lives. I see this more than most as I own a scented candle company and can track the growing trend in sales. I guess a lot has to do with our homes. we all generate cooking smells, pet odours and some even have tobacco odours to contend with. A quality scented candle can help make the places we live a more pleasant, relaxing and fun place to be.

The range of fragrances available today is baffling. This choice however is a very personal. For instance I love Vanilla scents, my wife can’t stand them. We both love fruit scents such as Lime Cooler and Fruit Cocktail. Some prefermore unusual candle scents. These are also becoming very popular such as baby powder, fresh coffee and even tomato!

More exotic scented candles are becoming more and more popular. These include fresh coffee, fresh bread and cinnamon scents. The unusual is also making inroads. scents like tomato vine and green tea & lemon-grass now have a definite following. Of particular note are the candles produced with gimmick fragrances. White castle recently launched a hamburger scented candle. Has the world gone mad!

Making candles is an art as well as a science. There are procedures to follow to make the most dazzling candles that catch the eyes. You can make beautiful candles at home with the right combination of candle making supplies.

Supplies include fragrance oils, additives, thermometer, double boiler, wax and molds. This is not a complete list but these are the needed supplies in making your candles. These supplies will help you to make great candles you’ll love.
