3.Medium bottle with 12 cm wax core. With the net weight approx. 220g, holds approx. 220g of wax. We are making 2 candles for today tutorial. 

4.Use the classic double boilder method, as this method is best for heating and melting wax. You can alway repurpose your old pot to make a double boilder, as long as it is large enought to fit your pour pot. In French, it is also known as "bain marie", or heat bath. Essentially, what you will need is one small pot and one large pot , with the smaller one being heated with surrounding water. As shown in the picture. This method is choosen because it provide even heat across all surface area. 

5.Ideally, when you are melting your wax, you would want to use a food grade thermometer to moniter the temperature. Essentially, you want to keep it under 85 degrees Celsius before pouring your melted wax.

7.Small candles as an example to prepare with the scent; similar to the perfume flavor, you can try to do the base note, before the middle note, and then vanilla or lavender essential oils 2-3 drops of links to blend the scent, I do a test trial before making them. If you are  not sure of the effect of the first to try a candle themselves. What I mean is to only add the base note first to test out  the potency of the smell. It the scent throw is stong enough. First put a few base notes and then put the middle and top notes of the fragrance, and finally put vanilla or lavender 2 drops of essential oil fusion scent. 

For the small candle, we used Sandalwood, Neroli, Lavender for the small candle. As for the large candle, we used Vanilla, Cinnamon, Gardenia.

9.Wait overnight for candles to cure. Trim your wick to desired length. 

Fragrance Oil Selection For Candle Making

To create a ideal fragrance oil combination, you will need to have a basic idea of base note, middle note, and top note. Think of top notes as the first impression of your candle's scent—the initial burst of aroma that captivates your senses. Another tips before making your candle would be group your oils by note to help construct multi-layered blends. Group top, middle, and base notes separately when first getting started. This makes blending more intuitive. For base note, we would want to select woody scent, such as sandalwood. It adds more lingering texture to a candle. Middle note, as the name suggest, is the main scent that is very obvious to the nose when making candles. Tipically, we would select floral scent as the middle note. Common top note essential oils include citrus and fruity scents. They are suble and light in nature.
