Hello everyone! I am brand new to this board AND candle making. I was hoping I could get some answers from some knowledgeable people I am making candles for my family and friends for holiday gifts this year. Specifically massage oil candles. I am using mostly coconut wax with a bit of soy (haven't gotten a good ratio down yet, would love some advice!) and adding skin safe fragrance and essential oils. I am using wooden wicks in 2oz and 6oz tins. I keep running into the same problem, though. Despite the fact that my wax temp is below the flashpoint of all of the oils, my scent will not hold!! I have tried so many times and have vaporized a lot of oil. I am not sure what else to try to keep the scent! I have also seen a lot of different opinions on how much oil to use per pound of wax. I like a pretty strong scent personally but I would love to hear what you guys do! Thank you so much in advance!
