At Mood Luxe, we believe fragrance is more than just a scent—it’s an experience, a memory, and a touch of luxury for your home. A well-crafted candle can transform any room, enhance your mood, and create unforgettable moments. With our collection of luxury scented candles, each one carefully made with the finest wax and fragrance oils, we want to share not only how to enjoy them but also some insider tips on how premium candles are crafted for the perfect home fragrance experience.

The Power of Premium Candle Fragrances

Every fragrance tells a story. Whether it’s the calming depth of sandalwood, the romantic elegance of rose, or the refreshing lift of citrus, Mood Luxe candles are designed to inspire moods and memories. Selecting the right scent for your space sets the tone for the moment—relaxation, celebration, or focus.

Best Practices for Candle Care & Use

1. Choose the Right Space

The size of the room matters. Larger rooms may require stronger or multiple candles, while a single luxury candle is perfect for bedrooms or smaller lounges.

2. Burn Your Candle Correctly

On the first burn, let the wax pool completely across the surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures your premium candle fragrance diffuses evenly.

3. Trim the Wick

Before lighting, trim your wick to ¼ inch. This ensures a clean flame, prevents soot, and helps maximize the fragrance throw.

4. Time Your Burns

Burn your candle for at least 1 hour but no longer than 4 hours at a time. Short burns won’t release the fragrance properly, and longer burns may overheat the wax and reduce the quality of the scent.

5. Pairing Fragrances

Layering complementary fragrances can create a unique signature. For instance, pairing a sandalwood candle with a rose-scented candle blends earthy warmth with floral elegance.

Behind the Craft: Best Practices in Candle Making

At Mood Luxe, crafting luxury scented candles is a meticulous process, and two factors are key to achieving the best fragrance throw:

Optimum Temperature for Adding Fragrance Oils

Fragrance oils need to be added to melted wax at the right temperature to fully bind with the wax and release a strong, long-lasting scent.

• For soy wax, the optimum temperature to add fragrance is usually 180–185°F (82–85°C) before pouring.

• Adding fragrance at too high a temperature can cause it to burn off, while too low a temperature can prevent proper binding.

The Perfect Fragrance Load Ratio

The amount of fragrance oil mixed into the wax determines the hot throw (scent when burning) and cold throw (scent when unlit).

• For luxury candles, the ideal fragrance load is typically 6–10% of the total wax weight.

• At Mood Luxe, we carefully balance each formula for the strongest, cleanest fragrance throw—enough to fill a room without overwhelming it.

Storing Your Luxury Scented Candles

To preserve the fragrance, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the jar sealed with a lid or cover to prevent dust and fading.

Final Thoughts

A Mood Luxe candle is more than a source of light—it’s a journey of fragrance, mood, and timeless elegance. By following these best practices for both use and care, and by understanding the craftsmanship behind every jar, you’ll enjoy the true luxury of premium home fragrance.
