Handmade Scented Candles:
Still the Best

I cannot imagine what life without candles would be like.

They are soothing and sensual, and stimulating as nothing else can be. That is, when the right candle is burning.

When you understand how the best jar candles are made, and why they are better by far at "scent throw", you begin to realize that life is too short for candles that are only a few dollars cheaper or a few ounces bigger.

Someone smart also once said: "Life is too short for cheap wine and cheap trash bags." The same can easily be said for candles.

When you are better informed, You begin to judge candles on the merits of their "melt pool" (see the section on Triple Scented Candles).

And, you find yourself understanding the relationship between "essential oils" and "ratio of wax to oil" (see the section on Scented Oil Candles.)
