It depends on how big the candle is. The recommended amount of fragrance ranges from 3 to 8% by weight. A good starting point is 1 ounce per pound (6% by weight). It's important to check the maximum fragrance amount the particular wax you are using will hold. Usually if you go above that amount in the wax, it will not perform properly.

How are candles made to smell?
A candle is made up of paraffin wax, stearic acid and a wick. If we take 10 spoons of wax we should put one spoon of stearic acid and insert a suitable wick according to the size of the candle.
Why does a scented candle smell stronger when lit than when unlit?
When a scented candle is lit, the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and release the fragrance oils into the air, leading to a stronger smell. When the candle is unlit, the fragrance is contained within the wax and is not actively being dispersed into the air.

These objects are likely scented wax melts used in wax warmers to create pleasant aromatic scents in a room. The spout openings allow the wax to melt and release fragrance. The strong smell comes from the scented oils infused within the wax.
Why do scented candles spread smell quickly through a room while it is burning but not when it's unlit?
When a scented candle is burning, the heat from the flame vaporizes the scented wax and allows the fragrance to disperse into the air more quickly. When the candle is unlit, the scent molecules remain trapped in the solid wax and are not released into the air. Additionally, the heat generated by the flame helps to circulate the fragrance throughout the room.

How is fragrance measured in candles?
Fragrance in candles is typically measured in terms of fragrance load, which is the percentage of fragrance oil relative to the total weight of the wax. This load usually ranges from 5% to 15%, depending on the type of wax and desired scent strength. Additionally, the "throw" of the fragrance—how well it disperses in a room when lit—can be assessed through testing in various environments. Manufacturers often conduct sensory evaluations to ensure the fragrance meets quality and intensity standards.
