Approximate guidelines - How strong should a candle smell?

“How strong should a candle smell?”
"I purchased the fragrances from you. Can you please tell me, with a 10% mixture, whether it is too much with:
- 81 gr. soy wax
- 9 gr. fragrance?"
"Or the simpler calculation is better:
- 90 gr. soy wax
- 9 gr. fragrance?"
Every scent blend and every single drop of candle oil gives your candle a soothing scent. Try out the different quantities and you will notice the difference. It's like a well-made espresso. You can increase the temperature by just one degree and the coffee will immediately have a different taste than if it was set one degree colder - with the same grind and the same coffee. It's the same with your candle.
Even a minimal drop can have an impact on your individual candle, so we cannot give you precise instructions. You decide how intensely your candle can smell, because everyone perceives smells differently. For example, make a candle and add 6 drops of candle fragrance oil. Then you make another candle and add 7 or 8 drops... etc. This way you can try it out and see what suits your own taste.
We hope you enjoy trying it out!
