Fragrance Integration Techniques and Their Impact on Candle Quality

This exam addresses the integration of fragrance within candle making and its influence on the sensory properties of candles. It includes the evaluation of different fragrance oils, natural extracts, and their compatibility with various wax types.

Fragrance is an elemental component of candles, fundamentally affecting the user experience and marketability. An understanding of how scent influences emotional responses and aesthetic appeal is critical for practitioners in the crafts industry.

Participants will demonstrate their ability to articulate the selection process for fragrance oils based on chemical compatibility with wax, expected throw, and overall performance in finished candles.

Discussions may also focus on emerging trends in eco-friendly scents and consumer preference toward natural options, highlighting the relevance of fragrance sourcing in sustainable practices.
