Truth About Triple Scented Candles

Truth About Triple Scented Candles

You see them everywhere - advertisements for triple scented candles. You might even be searching for them right now. But did you know there is no such thing as a “triple scented” candle?

It’s true - any time you see a company promoting “triple scented” candles it’s nothing but a marketing gimmick. The fact is, only a certain amount of scent can be added to any candle, regardless of what type it is. The reason for this is, a candle is like a sponge. If you add triple the amount of scent, it’s going to create a pool of oil at the top of the candle - which is highly flammable and CAN catch fire. You want your wick to burn, not your entire candle bursting into flames!

The maximum amount of scent that can be added to any candle is 1.5 ounces - possibly up to 2 ounces depending on your wax blend. Adding any more fragrance oil makes your candle very unsafe.

So the next time you see a company offering “Triple Scented Candles”, remember this is simply not possible!
