subject: A Buying Guide For Scented Candles [print this page] If you have not bought many scented candles before you might need some information on them. There are so many styles of them and several waxes they can be made from that it can be a bit confusing. So we will provide you with a buying guide for these candles. That way you will know exactly what you are getting for your money.
First, let's have a look at the various waxes scented candles are comprised of. Paraffin, beeswax, and soy wax are three different waxes that scented candles are often made with.
Paraffin candles are the least expensive, but soy and beeswax candles are higher quality. Paraffin can be more polluting, because it gives off more carbon than the other types do. It also burns faster than the other two, which means these candles don't last as long.
Beeswax has been used for candles for a long time, and is much higher quality than paraffin. It's also got a nice, pleasant natural scent; you can also find it scented. Beeswax candles can last up to five times longer than paraffin candles do.
Soy wax is derived from soy beans. It is a clean burning wax. You get more burn time for your money because it is slow burning and can last for a very long time. They are becoming quite a popular choice for many today. Soy wax and beeswax are both renewable resources while paraffin wax is non-renewable.
Scented candles can come in many shapes and sizes, such as pillar candles, tapers, jar candles, and much more. Jar candles are just as they sound, wax that has been poured into a jar with a wick inserted. The jar is made of heat resistant glass, and it's especially nice for bedrooms and bathrooms. Pillar candles, too, match their name, in that they look just like pillars. These come in medium, tall or short lengths, and you can also get extra large, short fat ones with three wicks inserted.
You can get scented candles in every color, whether orange, green, red, or just about any other color on the spectrum. You can buy colors and scents for every holiday, every season, and every mood. Pine scents or bayberry are great for Christmas, while spring may call for floral scents. You can effortlessly add candles to your decor, so that you can decorate your house for the seasons very easily. You can make them a dining room centerpiece, by flanking a scented candle with tapered ones for light.
We've shown you just a little bit of information on how you can buy scented candles for your own use. It can be very soothing after a long day to light a candle, and it's also perfect way to light a romantic mood or any situation where you just want a little bit of soft light. Scented candles have pleasant aromas that can make your mood pleasant and fill your home with exquisite smells. Buy a scented candle -- or more than one -- and see how using them can give you light, and joy.
