Despite what you may think  scented candles are not all the same. There is a huge difference in the manufacturing process between  luxury scented candles, such as those created by brands like True Grace or Yankee candles, and the cheap mass-market candles which you can pick up  at the corner shop, supermarket or even the garage. This is one of the reasons some people end up being disappointed  with their scented candles. It stands to reason  that something which costs only a few pounds or dollars is unlikely to give off the same quality of fragrance as a scented candle costing several times as much . You will often find that price is a good guide to, or indicator of, the quality of a scented candle . The ingredients used to  make premium candles, especially good quality wax, such as beeswax or soy wax, along with essential plant oils used to create true-to-life aromas, are not cheap, and this is reflected in the price of the finished product. Invest a little more and you will receive a long-lasting top quality candle which you can truly enjoy.

In terms of choice,  people are increasingly leaning towards  more eco friendly home fragrance products, in preference to  those scented candles which are made from paraffin wax. As paraffin wax is obtained through the process of refining petroleum it is a non renewable resource and not the most environmentally sound  choice. If you are looking to burn scented candles that satisfy the modern consumers demand for eco friendly products  you should consider  trying a soy candle, a beeswax candle or one of the candles made from a blend of these waxes and other vegetable waxes, such as those made by True Grace candles and Yankee candles. Burning  fragrant candles made from soy wax or one of the other aforementioned waxes can help alleviate some  allergies or reactions brought on by burning scented candles made with paraffin or other waxes . Most candles are scented with oils from plants or essential oils . A good reason to burn fragrant candles is for aroma therapy, which is a good way to relax after a hard day .

Scented candles and home fragrance products like  reed diffusers are available in a whole host  of places, from  the local corner shop or supermarket to online specialist retailers . If you are looking for more luxurious scented candles, such as those made by brands like True Grace candles, then the best selection is probably to be found online . The one drawback  about buying online is that you cannot smell the candle before you buy, but if you are choosing  scented candles from reputable manufacturers you can be confident that they will produce  long-lasting, realistic fragrances, unlike some of the cheaper factory produced alternatives. Quite apart from the large number of different brands out there, you can also find a huge variety in the types of candle available, ranging from small scented candles in tins or votives which will give a few hours fragrance , to much larger pillar or jar candles with extremely long burn times - and often with a price tag to match!
