Using fragrance oils
Fragrance oils turn a plain candle or bar of soap into something special. At Föndurlist you will find fragrances suited to candle and soap making — choose a scent you love and add it at the right stage for the best result.
For candles
Add fragrance oil to melted wax at the temperature recommended for your wax, usually just before pouring. Follow the suggested fragrance load (typically a small percentage of the wax weight) so the scent throws well without affecting the burn.
For soap
Use fragrance oils that are skin-safe and suited to soap making. Add them at trace in cold-process soap or just before pouring in melt-and-pour, and follow usage rates so the scent is pleasant and safe on skin.
Storage
Keep fragrance oils tightly closed, away from heat and direct sunlight, to preserve their strength. Well-stored oils keep their scent for a long time so you can use them across several projects.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use these fragrance oils in both candles and soap?
Many fragrance oils work for both, but always check that the oil is suited and safe for your specific use — especially soap, which goes on skin. Follow the recommended usage rate for each craft for the best and safest result.
How much fragrance should I add?
It depends on the product and the strength of the fragrance, but candles typically use a small percentage of the wax weight. Adding too much does not always mean a stronger scent and can affect performance, so follow the guidance for your wax or soap base.
When do I add the fragrance?
For candles, add fragrance to the melted wax just before pouring, at the temperature recommended for your wax. For soap, add at trace (cold process) or just before pouring (melt-and-pour). Timing helps the scent bind properly.
