Ok, so here is my take. I worked for 17 years for one of the larger US Supply houses. I started making candles about 22 years back. I began with paraffin, and in the interim used soy, and settled into a parasoy blend. I can to this day tell you it's not the wax, it's finding the right wax, wick, scent and container combo. My candles will be equally strong, but not always using the same exact scents. I can say it's possible across the board, but I usually find people that say their throw isn't as strong are under wicking and or using a jar with too narrow a diameter. Scent comes from melted wax, thus the surface area is important.

Thanks for the post cause I was having this issue, I make soy candles using an only all natural Pure soy with no gmo and was beginning to think only paraffin gives a stronger sent from what I was researching and I really wanted to avoid going the paraffin way. I'm gonna cont to play around with my soy, right now I'm at 8oz Mason jar with eco 10 wick and that's seems to be working however the scent could be a bit stronger then Id like.
