๐ธ 1. More Oil โ More Scent
Itโs tempting to pour extra oil hoping for stronger smell.
But too much oil makes wax sweat or wonโt bind.
More isnโt always better โ balance is key.
๐ง 2. Every Wax Has Its Limit
Soy can hold about 6โ10%.
Paraffin can take up to 12%.
Coconut usually 8โ10%.
Exceed that, and your scent might โleakโ or fade fast.
๐งช 3. Finding the Sweet Spot
Start with 8% and adjust by 1% each test.
Keep notes โ your ideal ratio depends on wax type and fragrance strength.
Strong floral oils need less; subtle scents like sandalwood need more.
๐ฅ 4. How to Mix It Right
Add oil at the right temperature (usually 170 ยฐF / 77 ยฐC for soy).
Stir slowly for at least a minute.
Pour evenly for consistent scent.
๐ฟ 5. My Takeaway
Donโt overload your wax โ perfect scent is about balance.
Sometimes โless oilโ smells better and burns cleaner.
