Making The Perfect Candle
Once you’ve selected the perfect fall fragrance oil, use the following tips to help you create the perfect candle:

- Use an appropriate wax temperature and fragrance oil/wax ratio.
- Be sure to let the wax cool to the correct temperature before adding the fragrance oil.
- Stir the fragrance oil into the wax thoroughly.
