Hey guys, I just have a quick question. I bought a bunch of the 8oz. candles and I've burned three of them. I'm having trouble smelling them when they're burning. I have to get up really close to them to pick up a scent at all. I understand that if I would have gotten candles with larger mouths, the scent throw would have been stronger of course, but is anyone else having this problem at all?

Usually if you let them cure for a couple of days the scent gets much stronger. I haven't had any problems with the 8 oz candles that I have. But of course, I wait a couple of days after I get them to burn them. Hopefully this helps. Good Luck!

i agree. if u let it cure by letting it sit, you will probably increase the scent!

Make sure they aren't too close to you, I've noticed that the closer you are to them while they're burning the less you smell them, if that makes sense.

Plus you have to get that FULL melt pool going. I do think these candles are much more suited for a small to medium size room, but I have never had a problem.

You guys were totally right. I burned the first two on tuesday and wednesday and that's when I couldn't really smell them. I've had one burning today for like, 2 hours and it's definitely MUCH stronger.

It also depends on the strength of the scent in the first place. I've burned some of the stronger scents like peanut butter cookies, reese peanut butter , the day I got them and they filled the whole room. Lighter scents may need a few extra days to cure.
