🌸 1. More Oil ≠ More Scent
It’s tempting to pour extra oil hoping for stronger smell.
But too much oil makes wax sweat or won’t bind.
More isn’t always better — balance is key.
🧈 2. Every Wax Has Its Limit
Soy can hold about 6–10%.
Paraffin can take up to 12%.
Coconut usually 8–10%.
Exceed that, and your scent might “leak” or fade fast.
🧪 3. Finding the Sweet Spot
Start with 8% and adjust by 1% each test.
Keep notes — your ideal ratio depends on wax type and fragrance strength.
Strong floral oils need less; subtle scents like sandalwood need more.
🔥 4. How to Mix It Right
Add oil at the right temperature (usually 170 °F / 77 °C for soy).
Stir slowly for at least a minute.
Pour evenly for consistent scent.
🌿 5. My Takeaway
Don’t overload your wax — perfect scent is about balance.
Sometimes “less oil” smells better and burns cleaner.
