I have a teacup and want to make a natural soy wax aromatherapy candle and want to avoid synthetic fragrances if possible, does anybody here keep it natural when it comes to making candles? Do they smell lovely? Any tips on blends or ratios of oils to wax would be gratefully appreciated! Thank you!

This thread has been going for ages, I keep meaning to have a go at making too...

Yes. I actually just prefer vanilla or lavender for my candle scents.

Your much better using beeswax instead of soy wax to be honest. It burns longer and keeps better. You'll need to add stearin to the wax (don't need it for beeswax).
