Burning candles releases volatile organic compounds and particulate matter into the air. Particulate matter is a mixture of extremely small liquid droplets and particles that can enter your lungs. There's concern that extended exposure to particulate matter can lead to heart and lung problems.
Fans of Bath and Body Works candles laud their burn-time and affordable price. But Yankee Candle patrons argue its flames give off a less offensive scent. Plus, many say Yankee Candle is an overall higher quality product.
Yankee candle fans say that Yankee candles are special due to their ability to burn evenly. Other cheaper candles tend to misshape or the wick becomes lost within the wax making it impossible to burn again.

If your scent is coming out too light, you may have mis-sized your wick. If you went on the small end, the pool of wax may not be hot enough to release the scent fully. Alternatively, you might have added your fragrance oil to the wax when it was too hot. Adding the fragrance oil to the hot wax is a common problem.
Place candles far away from air vents to maximize their scent. Pay attention to where your candle is placed in the room. If you're setting it near a window that gets opened often, an overhead fan or air vent, all those things can affect how strong the candle smells.

Your healthy candle checklist
- Wax: Choose 100% pure beeswax with no artificial colors.
- Wick: Choose 100% cotton.
- Fragrance: Choose fragrance-free (best choice) or 100% pure essential oils.
- Buy candles made in the USA. Even better, support local businesses and buy from local candlemakers that you know and trust.

For best results, when wax is melted, place candy thermometer in wax and bring to wax manufacturer's recommended temperature for adding fragrance. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon ground cloves for about every 2 cups of melted wax.
