As a popular home fragrance item, scented candles can not only create a warm atmosphere but also soothe the body and mind. However, many people often face the problem of short-lasting fragrance.

Professional aromatherapists share core tips to help you unlock a long-lasting fragrance experience. For the first burn, you must let the wax surface melt completely to form a uniform wax pool, which usually takes 1-2 hours, avoiding the “tunneling effect” that causes wax waste and insufficient fragrance release.

After each extinguishing, wait for the wick to cool to room temperature and trim it to 0.5 cm with a professional wick trimmer. A too-long wick is prone to black smoke and rapid consumption, while a too-short one leads to insufficient combustion.

Store in sealed containers such as glass jars and tin cans to prevent fragrance volatilization, and keep away from direct sunlight and high-temperature environments to avoid wax deformation.

In addition, close doors and windows when using to reduce fragrance loss, and avoid vents and air conditioning outlets. Mastering these skills can increase the lasting time of scented candles by more than 30%, allowing the fragrance to accompany your life for a long time.
