How and when do I add a scent to a homemade candle?
I have Benn Making Scented candles, The problem is when I burn them there is no scent. What am I doing wrong? Is their a certain temperature I add the scent at? What are the best and strongest scents for candle making I can buy?

Hi, Brittany!
It may be that there isn't enough "scent" added. If it is just a regular fragrance, I would add it as it is being poured into the mold or maybe soak the wick in the fragrance before pouring the wax. I hope this helps!

Simple Steps to Candle Making
I always add the scent at the VERY end (essential oils) before pouring into the mold. I read online to do 20 drops of essential oil per ml.

My interest in being the best candle maker I could be, lead me to take many classes to learn how to perfect my art. I also read books and researched everything I could.
I discovered that while there was tons of information available, only a tiny bit of it was actually useful. I was also fortunate to have the help of many candle makers from whom I learned how to be a master at candle making and how to impress everyone with my great smelling candles.
