Wax Types That Enhance Scent Throw
Not only based on the oil, the candle fragrances can be made up with the help of waxes. Below are the most commonly used waxes.
Beeswax
- Pros: Naturally scented, burns longer, and purifies air by releasing negative ions.
- Cons: Often pricier.
Best for: People sensitive to synthetic fragrance or who want light, natural aromas. A perfect choice if you want a healthier, cleaner burn that’s worth every bit of the experience.

Paraffin Wax

- Cons: Petroleum-based, less eco-friendly, burns quickly.
Best for: Strong scents like cinnamon, tobacco, or gourmand blends.
Soy Wax
- Pros: Clean-burning, plant-based, and holds scent steadily over time.
- Cons: Slightly softer scent throw than paraffin.
Best for: Subtle yet steady aromas—lavender, sandalwood, or amber.
Coconut Wax

- Cons: Premium pricing, softer texture.
Best for: Complex blends – coconut, tonka bean, and exotic fruits.
Want to Amplify the Aroma of Your Candles?
Try these strategies:
- Remember to trim the wick to 1/4 inch before burning to avoid soot and increase fragrance throw.
- Allow your wax pool to reach the edge of the tin during your first burn (approx. 1–2 hours).
- Strategically place candles—scent lingers longer in smaller rooms vs. open spaces.
- Opt for multi-wick candles, as these will distribute scent quicker and more evenly throughout your home.

Natural vs. Synthetic Fragrances
Candles with a powerful aroma tend to use synthetic fragrance oils in order to impart a lingering and steady effect. Still, several high-end candle makers, such as Fleurimonds Naturals, use only clean scents that do not release toxins.
They give a much more natural and nuanced scent, as they are sourced from beeswax.
Phthalate-free fragrances are more stable synthetics without EDCs, and they are clean cosmetics.
Conclusion
However, they say not all candles are alike with the same dangers. With the perfect blend of wax to fragrance oil to wick, they can be as strong or (in our humble opinions) weak as you want them. Whether you prefer creamy vanilla, zesty citrus, or relaxing lavender, the ideal candle is out there. Please find out and use the one that is best for you.
