Scented Candle Throw | Willis Candle Shop
Understanding the Art of Candle Scent Throw
A candle’s scent throw is what transforms a space, creating mood and atmosphere. At Willis Candle Shop, we carefully craft our coconut-soy wax candles to maximize both cold and hot scent throw, offering a luxurious, room-filling experience that showcases our premium fragrances.
What Is Scent Throw?
Cold Scent Throw
Cold scent throw refers to the fragrance emitted by an unlit candle. It is a key indicator of the candle’s quality, blend, and fragrance load.
- Why It’s Important: A strong cold scent throw ensures that your candle provides a delightful aroma even when it’s not burning, enhancing its appeal as a decorative piece or gift.
- How We Achieve It: Our candles are crafted with a precise coconut-soy wax blend and an optimized fragrance load of 8.6% of the wax volume, ensuring the scent binds effectively with the wax for maximum diffusion.
Hot Scent Throw
Hot scent throw is the fragrance released when the candle is burning, filling the room with aroma. This is where a candle’s true performance shines.
- Why It’s Important: A well-balanced hot scent throw creates an immersive sensory experience, transforming your space and mood.
- How We Enhance It: The lower melting point of our coconut-soy wax blend promotes faster wax pooling, releasing the fragrance evenly and consistently throughout the burn.
Why Fragrance Load Matters
At Willis Candle Shop, we use a fragrance load of 8% based on the total volume of the candle (8.6% of the wax weight). This balance is carefully chosen for the following reasons:
- Optimal Scent Performance: Provides a robust aroma without overwhelming the room or leaving residues in the wax.
- Compatibility with Coconut-Soy Wax: Ensures that the fragrance oils fully bind with the wax, preventing separation or uneven burning.
- Healthier, Non-Toxic Experience: All our fragrances are phthalate-free, paraben-free, and eco-friendly, ensuring clean burning for a healthier home.
Benefits of Coconut-Soy Wax for Scent Throw
- Superior Fragrance Diffusion: Coconut-soy wax excels at binding fragrance oils, leading to both a strong cold scent throw and an exceptional hot scent throw.
- Even Burning: The blend’s lower melting point helps the wax pool quickly, releasing scent evenly throughout the burn.
- Eco-Friendly Performance: As a plant-based, renewable resource, coconut-soy wax delivers high-quality performance without the environmental impact of paraffin.
How to Maximize Your Candle’s Scent Throw
For the Best Cold Scent Throw:
- Place your candle in small to medium-sized rooms when unlit to enjoy its natural fragrance diffusion.
- Store your candle in a cool, dry place to preserve the integrity of its scent oils.
For the Best Hot Scent Throw:
- Allow the candle to burn until a full melt pool forms across the surface (approximately 2–3 hours).
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn to prevent soot and ensure a clean, even flame.
- Avoid burning in drafty areas, as airflow can disrupt the scent throw and lead to uneven melting.
