No cold throw on soy wax candles

[YvonneMR]

My husband gave me a soy candle making kit for Christmas, so I am new to candle making. On my first batch I got a real good cold throw.  I'm using essential oils for candles and soy wax (the box only says natural soy.  My recent batch cold throw has been no scenting.  I have followed the same instructions as my first batch, same amount of soy and same amount of fragrance. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

 

Thank you,

Could be many reasons... without knowing the wax, or the essential oil, or the maker of the oil it will be a shot in the dark.

 

not all essential oils play well in hot wax.  Many do, but not all.

 

I learned a lot by doing “exploratory surgery” on my candles.  
 

it could be a polarity problem between the wax and oil, like sinking of the scent to the bottom. 
 

if could be not enough scent.

 

it could be candle nose.

 

is there any more info you can provide so we can poke down the right solution path?
