  1. Okay, dumb question #1(and there will be a lot) when you say cure them for a week, you mean the candle, correct.
  2. I apologize, I am not trying to take away from the original post here it seems she is having almost the same problem as me. My first attempt at making candles was in 2017, I started out the gate with Candlewick natural soy wax 444 with a 2% universal soy wax additive. I tried 3 different brands of essential oils, Blu Spirits, Holly Jolly, and P and J premium fragrance oil, I used cozyours candle wicks, and I mixed gulf wax in with one batch of candle wax I melted because I read somewhere it would help. I burned through 5+pounds of wax, made several 4-8 inch candles and none of them threw a scent. If you picked them up and just smelled them you would know they were scented but once you lit them, nothing. I eventually became so frustrated that I stored away my wax and oils and moved on to something else. The truth is I would give anything to figure out what I am doing wrong, I am dying to make scented candles because I have a thousand and one places I can use them but if they are not going to throw a scent then why bother. Oh I added the scented oil based on the several different temps I found on the internet for the type of wax I was using or the recommended temp on the bottle of oil I used. Obviously, not a single one worked for me.
