# Using Fragrance Oils in Scented Candles

Fragrance oils from the category you linked are generally designed to be incorporated into a base material, such as candle wax, rather than being used directly on their own.

When making scented candles, you would typically melt your chosen candle wax and then mix the fragrance oil into the melted wax at the recommended temperature and concentration. The specific usage rate (percentage of fragrance oil to wax) can vary depending on the type of wax, the fragrance oil itself, and the desired scent strength.

Therefore, you cannot simply use the fragrance oil directly without mixing it into the candle wax. Always follow recommended usage guidelines for the specific fragrance oil and wax you are using for best results and safety.
