Do scented candles work better than regular candles?

I prefer scented candles over unscented candles. To me it is the wax that makes a difference. I really don't care for paraffin wax. I like palm wax candles. It burns cooler, cleaner, and has a better scent throw. I also prefer palm wax candles over paraffin wax candles because of the clean up. Unlike paraffin candles, palm wax candles can be cleaned with warm soap and water.
