Shivoracandles are more than just beautiful décor pieces — they’re tiny vessels of mood, memory, and atmosphere. At Shivora Candles, we blend art and science to create fragrances that not only smell incredible but also transform the way you feel in your space. Ever wondered how a candle releases its enchanting aroma? Let’s explore the science behind the glow.
The Science of a Shivora Candles
Every Shivora Candle begins with three key elements: 100% soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and a cotton wick. When lit, the flame gently melts the surrounding wax, which then carries the fragrance into the air — creating that signature warm, welcoming scent experience.
How the Fragrance is Released
When the flame burns, the heat melts the top layer of wax into a liquid pool. This melted wax is drawn up into the wick, fueling the flame and gently heating the fragrance oils. As the oils warm, they evaporate and disperse into the air, filling your room with a consistent aroma.
Why Soy Wax?
At Shivora Candles, we choose eco-friendly soy wax for its cleaner, longer, and more even burn compared to paraffin. With its lower melting point, soy wax allows our fragrances to be released more effectively, giving you a stronger scent throw and a longer-lasting candle.
Fragrance Throw: Hot vs. Cold
- Cold Throw – The scent your candle gives off when it’s unlit. A premium Shivora Candle smells amazing right out of the jar.
- Hot Throw – The fragrance released when the candle is lit. Our soy wax blends are designed to produce a rich, room-filling aroma without overwhelming the senses.
Tips for Getting the Best Scent Experience
- Trim the Wick – Keep it at ¼ inch before each burn for a cleaner flame and minimal soot.
- Burn Evenly – Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
- Choose the Right Spot – Keep away from strong drafts so the fragrance can disperse evenly.
