Making scented candles is very popular and the variety of fragrances that can be added to candle wax is amazing as there are natural fragrances and commercially produced candle scents as well.
Scents can be used to compliment a design of a candle such as when a rose shaped candle has a rose fragrance or a pillar candle which has been inlaid with lavender flowers is perfumed with a lavender fragrance.
With a home candle making business making scented candles is a big part of the candle range because people like to have scented candles around their home to create a pleasant atmosphere.
Customers may buy candles for a fresh scent like lemon on a kitchen or sandalwood in the lounge.
When making scented candles for a home candle making business thought needs to be given to the actual client base and their personal choices.
Different circumstances could affect what people will be looking for in a candle scent and here are some of the reasons that could affect their buying: · a candle for a romantic dinner · a refreshing candle for the kitchen · a relaxing aroma for the lounge or bedroom · a flowery or musk scent for the bathroom or spa room · a scent for a female environment · a musk scent for an all men's environment · a flowery scent for the older generation · a robust scent for the younger generation You can see that there will be different reasons for people buying different scented candles, but also the scents should tie in with the shapes of the candle as mentioned above and this may well suit a client anyway as they might want to put a floating bowl of rose shaped, rose scented candles in the middle of their dining table.
Using quality fragrances.
When making candles for a home based business it is important at all times to use quality products and this also goes for the candle fragrances.
It pays to use the concentrated scents because they do give off a better fragrance, and with the concentrated scents you do only use a few drops, so although they are more expensive to buy initially they do a better job and don't end up that much more expensive in the long run.
The success of any business relies on repeat customers so when creating a candle range for a business it is best to work out the styles, colors and candle scents so that everything co-ordinates together for the best effect.
A home candle making business might have 20 different ranges, but each may have up to ten candle shapes in the range.
Developing a candle range and making scented candles to go in it is a lot of fun and quite a challenge for a candle maker.
