Learn How to Make Your Very Own Luxury Candles

Luxury candles add a serene, almost intimate atmosphere in every setting. You can easily buy these candles online or in home decoration and craft stores but why spend a lot of money for these designer candles when you can simply make them at home? This way, you can customize these luxury candles according to your preferences.

The first step in making these scented luxury candles is to gather all the materials that you are going to need, such as wax, liquid dye, fragrance, and waxed paper. Melt the wax first and let it cool down a bit before you add the dye and the scent. Do not leave the wax unattended while you are melting it. For you to be able to gauge if you have the proper temperature of 160 degrees, you will need a thermometer to check it. Once your wax has reached the desired temperature, you can pour it into your molds.

When adding fragrance to your designer candles, remember that you do not need a lot of it in order to make your candles smell good. Just add one ounce of fragrance to every pound of melted wax. Stir the fragrance into the melted wax, making sure you mix them thoroughly.

The next step is for you to add color to your luxury candles. Again, you don’t need too much liquid dye to create color in your candles. Just adding one drop of it will be enough. Remember to stir the mixture thoroughly so that the color and the fragrance become evenly distributed.

To check the color of the candle, test it onto a piece of waxed paper. Just scoop a small amount of your mixture and pour it onto a piece of waxed paper. Let it cool and harden for about a minute. The result of this test will give you an idea of what the color of your designer candles will be.

If you like the pastel shade that your luxury candles have, then one drop of liquid dye will already do. However, if you want to have a darker shade, you can add more drops of liquid dye until you get your desired color. Now, doesn’t this beat buying candles online?

Great smelling, interesting gift!

by Jennifer Gray from Seattle, WA USA on 2009-01-12
Now that I have purchased both the lavender and mint mojito candles as gifts, I keep hoping someone will buy one for me. These have strong, true-to-title scents and a simple, classic look that can fit into any home's decor. (I love the mint mojito - it's not boozy, obviously, but still reminds me of muddled limes and fresh mint leaves.) Just one of these candles will fill an entire room with its smell, though, so don't light too many at once!I give the product four stars, as I haven't burned one all the way through yet.

Perfect Scent: For the Kitchen, Bathroom...anywhere!

by Jennifer Gray from Seattle, WA USA on 2009-08-12
Scent: I expected the mandarin to overpower the lavender, but they compliment each other nicely. I like placing this near the cat's litter box when I have people coming over: he doesn't mind the smell, and within minutes any potential cat nastiness is replaced by oranges and lavender! I've also used it in my living room and bathroom, and the scent filled each room nicely without overpowering my nose (no headaches here).Construction: I loved the eco-packaging, and the soy candle burns very well. Just make sure to trim the wick after use, and you'll have a long-lasting pretty candle for a long time.Container: Basic glass. It's thick, well-made, and looks good. An unobtrusive style that goes with everything.

Smells Great!

by Mimi from Maryland on 2010-02-28
First time I have bought a Paddywax candle. This scent is great. Has a nice smell, not overpowering, even when not lit. Smells great, takes a little while to "warm up" but leaves a nice after scent. The candles are a nice size and burn very evenly and clean. My only concern is that when it was mailed to me the first time the glass arrived shattered. Amazon did a great job on doing a replacement.....however the replacement wasn't wrapped much better and it is only luck that kept it from breaking too.The candles come in "eco friendly" packaging which is awesome.....the packages are perfect for composting or using to start seedlings.Will be ordering more!

Nothing Special

by Kelly from on 2010-07-13
This was pretty pricy for a candle but I paid it cause I thought the scent would fill the room with a strong lavender scent ... it didn't. I kept it lit for about half an hour and still no scent. It is cute though!


Like true lavendar

by S. Codrescu from on 2009-11-02
This candle fills the house with a true lavendar scent. It only needs to stay lit for 30 minutes and our entire home is fragrant, but not too strong. I'm looking for more candles from this company now.


A true scent and a great gift.
