Benefits of Scented Candles

Scented candles are more than just a pleasant fragrance—they're an essential part of creating a welcoming atmosphere in your home.

The scent of a candle comes from the fragrance molecules in the candle wax being bounced off into the air. This process is generally called evaporation.

Evaporation depends on the weight of the molecules, their density, and the bond or attraction of the molecules to each other. If you increase the energy by heating the liquid, the molecules have a better chance of getting bumped off into the air. Typically the fragrance molecules weigh less than the hydrocarbon molecules in the wax and have a better chance to escape into the air.

The amount of molecules escaping into the air also depends on how much surface area of the liquid is exposed to the air. Evaporation of water molecules is the easiest to understand because we evidence this happening all the time. Ice will evaporate but at a much slower rate than water at room temperature – there is less molecular energy at colder temperatures but ice will evaporate.
