I made these today, actually and wow they are amazing. I don't have Vintage Patchouli, just the regular version so I used that. My trick, instead of chopsticks to hold the wick steady since I don't have them- Kabob skewers! I'm burning my candle now, and although it took me a bit to like the scent, it's growing on me now. It smells very earthy and deep, and somewhat of a fireplace almost, I can't put the name on it but I've smelled it before and it's oddly comforting. I also made another candle- I was in the Christmas mood (I know, it's the middle of June lol) and I used Siberian Fir, Black Spruce, Sweet Orange and Cinnamon Bark (25 of each). I can't wait to burn that next, it smells so good just taking the top off :) So anyone, I do recommend trying this candle recipe and make your own, it's really fun!

Perhaps check the temperature of the beeswax. Wax scorches at 200 degrees, I let me wax cool to 155-163 before adding oils else it "burns off" so much of the essential oils. So, cool wax before pouring, or use a thermometer. Your scent choice is lovely.

Just a coupe of suggestions, as I have been canning my whole life, (over 40 years) I would suggest that you heat up your glass containers in a 100 degree oven (usually the lowest setting on most ovens) so that you do not risk breaking the container. I learned at a young age of this. Also I would be concerned of not tossing towel on the range, more specifically really close to the hot burner you had just used. :-)

I have recently read this, could you tell me if it is true: Beeswax is a hard wax with a high melting point that burns hotter than other waxes used for making candles. Essential oils become toxic when overheated. The essential oil heated by beeswax candles will boil due to the high heat and become scorched very quickly. Anytime we add any foreign substance to a pure beeswax candle , these impurities will clog the wicking and affect how clean the candle burns. These impurities will show as carbon capping or mushrooming on the tip of the wicking , resulting in incomplete combustion which produces soot. Soot is carbon - unburned beeswax.
@Zathurastra6 жыл бұрын
Mushrooming, excessive soot and carbon buildup are likely caused by an improper wick size rather than additives in the wax. There's a whole science behind choosing the right wicks based on the type of wax used, the shape and size of the candle, etc., but if you don't want to hurt your brain, just buy 3-4 different sizes (thicknesses) and experiment. With container candles like this, what you're looking for is for the wax to be completely molten about half an inch down. If it's creating a pool around the wick but leaving the sides solid, try a larger wick.
@aromatherapyoils6 жыл бұрын
Beeswax is a hard wax with a higher melting point, Pam Power. I've not experienced any negative burning or soot problems with the candles I've made. Making sure you have the proper wick size can help to make sure the candle is burning properly.

This was fun! I'm wondering about using other essential oils for fragrance. The patchouli and vetiver are both deep, slowly evaporating aromas. The fragrance would have "staying power". Would you use the same amount of EO's if you were using lighter, more quickly evaporating oils?

I love lavender candles, how many drops would I use in place of the two that you are using in this video?

Beth Ellsworth, I've used a total of 4 mls in this candle which comes out to about 100 drops of essential oil.

Thank you for making this lovely video. I was wondering what wick size /brand you use for these mason jars? I have the same and am having trouble finding the right size. Thank you in advance. :)

You have such a soothing voice! How do you know the ratios and scent combinations? I made a candle with beeswax once and it smells like honey. I love the smell of honey but I wanted to be able to smell the essential oil more. Do you have any tips for this? Thank you for this video! Hope you make more candle videos with soy wax as well.

Maria Paz Dominguez, I love the smell of beeswax too! I've found that using oils like vetiver, patchoul, cedarwood, etc that are heavy in their scent works best. Generally using 1 ml (25 drops) of essential oil for every one ounce of beeswax is sufficient for a good aroma.

Hello. I hope all is well. I wanted to ask. From someone with more experience than myself. How can you actually make these candles more fragrant? I failed at creating a scented beeswax candle and it came out more like the natural wax scent.

Hi Sidney! We are not experts in making candles so we really can't advise you from a lot of experience, but we do find that 1 ml of essential oil (about 25 drops) for every 1 oz (28 gm) of beeswax works well. How strong the aroma is is a personal preference.
