Making candles with essential oils versus fragrance oils is going to be a different experience and will therefore yield a different testing phase. Essential oil fragrances are pure and contain no carrier oils or other substances that dilute the fragrance. The fragrance oils have a substance that changes the way the candles will smell to an extent. An essential oil candle is going to smell different and have different strengths depending on the type of fragrance of essential oil you are using.

Key Takeaways:

  • Essential oils are very different from fragrance oils, you will need to test several times before using them as far as the fragrance you want.
  • Different essential oils offer different levels of fragrance, so you will want to experiment with them especially if you plan to blend them.
  • The strength of the scent will be different from an essential oil because a fragrance oil has different carriers.
