I just purchased a container candle making kit from a reputable company. When the candle is simmering, you can smell the scent throughout my entire home. After the candle is poured and it cools, though, there is no strong scent. There is no strong scent when I smell the candle when it's not lit. When lit, there is a light scent in the air. It's not strong like most candles. I am using the IGI 4786 paraffin wax and the 44-24-18z wick. The company recommends to use 1oz of FO per lb of wax. This seems to be the general standard in candle making. I have read on the forums about not getting a strong throw due to the wick used. What I am using is that came with the kit. The company states that their FO produces a "HIGHLY" fragrant candle. Unfortunately, I am not smelling this. I expected something to be highly fragrant to have a strong scent like other candles I have bought in the past. When I speak of the ones bought in the past, it's ones that others have made, not store-bought. I have followed the directions exactly. I measured the wax precisely (digital kitchen scale) and the temp was correct for the first and second pour (good cook digital thermometer).
