AustinCandleMaker Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 How does one know if they have the right Fragrance percentage? You can work to create a candle with a great hot throw. But I don't want it to be too over powering. You can do tests with differing amount of fragrance In a small room it might be overpowering. In a large room it might get lost. What's too much is subjective I know. But you have to start somewhere What is a good sized room to plan for? This will help me back into the right fragrance percentage. I am working with a 12oz 3.75" single wick sized candle. I don't expect it to fill the whole house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 This is an excellent question! humbly, I say make what YOU like, and market from there. Personally, if I can taste a fragrance in the air it is offputting. Many love that strong of a scent, but others find it sickening. If you make what you love, you will be burning the unsold, so ya better like it. I typically burn in bathrooms, bedrooms and open concept type living room. Kitchen I lean toward melters. I’m really curious about others now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfroberts Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I sell only mason jar candles, and I test in a 1300 sq ft space. If it fills the space, I consider it a success. I don't tinker with percentages. I use 6% FO for everything, and if a FO doesn't throw, it gets ditched. I feel like you just kinda have to work things out to your own satisfaction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
