Making candles requires a great deal of precision. The ratio of wax is a major factor. It determines the strength of the scent, the burning time and whether the candle will burn well or not. The wrong ratio can cause your candle to burn unevenly. With our candle perfume calculator, you no longer have to do the maths yourself. With our handy tool, you can not only see how many grams of wax and perfume oil you need, but you can also see the cost per candle or for the entire batch.
How does the candle fragrance calculator work?
- Enter the amount of wax you need. (g)
- Select the desired fragrance intensity (%)
- The calculator shows you immediately how much perfume oil you need exactly, as well as an estimate of the costs.
How much perfume do you need for a candle or wax melts?
Choosing the right ratio is essential if you want to make a good candle or wax melts. The correct percentage of fragrance oil is often between 6 and 10%. This depends on the type of candle wax used and the strength of the fragrance. Not every perfume is the same. 8% is often a good starting point. Then you can see if you are satisfied with the scent and burning time. By finding the perfect balance, you can enjoy that lovely fragrance in your home for longer.
The advantages of the candle fragrance oil calculator tool
- Prevent waste Use just the right amounts of wax and fragrance oil without wasting any ingredients.
- Cost control See immediately what the candle will cost.
Use the tool for different types of candles.
Not all candle wax has the same density. This is important to take into account in the calculation. For example, paraffin has a density of 0.8 g/cm³ and beeswax has a density of 0.96 g/cm³. This is a significant difference. The candle calculator takes this into account. Do you have a special request? Let us know in the comments and we will be happy to add it.
