Hello, My name is Robert, yes I am am Man but I love to create things. When I was 9 I started making my own candles using used candles and crayons I got at thrift stores. I did this for about 5 years and then moved on to cake decorating and then wedding cakes and then photography and now I am back to candles. I got back interested in to candles because of the Glade candles with what they call "essential oils" these seems to burn nice (they claim up to 22 hours) and seem to put off a nice amount of scent and the scent smells pretty real unlike the fake smells of most of the commercial room deoderizer things. So I decided I want to make my own because at $5 a pop they are pretty expensive and I am not really thrilled with the scent choices they offer. I have tried candle wax I got at my local craft store as well as some of the hard scent blocks, I have tried bee's wax with essential oils and none of them seem to put out the smell that the Glade candles do. So I need some help. What would all of your suggest? Wax type, scent type? Etc. Thanks, Robert
