About the scent model
This is an estimate for comparing recipes with each other, not a lab measurement. Every Candö candle is scented at 12%. Reference point: a 200 g candle, burned for 2 hours in a room with normal airflow, fills about 22 m².
The scented zone grows with candle weight to the power of 0.6. Ceilings higher than 2.7 m count as a larger room.
For a better scent throw
- Let candles cure for 1 to 2 weeks after pouring.
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar.
- Burn no longer than 4 hours at a time and trim the wick to about 5 mm.
- Keep the candle away from fans and open windows for the best scent throw.
