About this scented candles
Yankee Candle Lilac Blossoms Scented Candle, 22oz Large Jar
With a candle warmer lamp, the wax melts at a lower temperature than it would over a flame. This matters because heat-sensitive fragrance compounds (particularly citrus top notes and delicate florals) evaporate more gently, giving a truer-smelling scent rather than a "cooked" version of it.
Fragrance molecules diffuse more effectively in a warm room than a cold one. If the room is cold, give the candle warmer 30–40 minutes to both warm the wax and raise the ambient temperature slightly before expecting full scent diffusion. Closing doors and windows during this initial warm-up period speeds the process.
If fragrance seems weak after 30 minutes: the room may be too cold; air circulation (a nearby fan or vent) may be dispersing molecules before they accumulate; the candle may be old (fragrance oils degrade over time); or the lamp's bulb may need replacing with a higher-wattage option.
Wax "runs out" of fragrance when the volatile compounds have fully evaporated — typically after 60–90+ hours in a warmer. At that point the wax will still melt but produce no noticeable scent. Remove the spent wax and replace with a fresh candle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fragrance natural or synthetic?
Fragrance composition varies by brand. Natural-fragrance candles use essential oil blends; most commercial candles use synthetic fragrance oils, which can be of very high quality and are often more consistent than natural alternatives.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, with normal precautions. If using with a flame: never leave unattended, keep away from draughts and flammable materials, and extinguish when 1cm of wax remains. With a warmer lamp: no supervision required.
Can I smell it without lighting or warming it?
Yes — quality candles have a good cold throw. Open the lid and you should be able to detect the fragrance clearly. This "cold throw" is a reliable indicator of fragrance concentration.
How should I store it?
In a cool, shaded spot away from direct sunlight (which fades the colour and degrades fragrance compounds). Keep the lid on when not in use.
