Creating the perfect indoor ambience is something we all are in love with. Candles have the power of adding a special effect to the place they are placed in. The candle is a block of wax that has central wick which enables us to light an area. Candles have slight significance religiously. Some candles have the fragrance which gets artificially added for the pleasure. These candles have comfortable ambience and they elevate the look of the room as a whole. If you thought that picking up of the candles is an easy cakewalk then you need to think again. There are many options in candles and sometimes choosing one amongst many is a complicated task. 

So what are the characteristics of a good candle? 

Below are some of the characteristics of a good candle-

  • 100% pure beeswax is organic and natural and candles made from it burn clean and have their own natural honey/floral scent, even when not burning. Unlike paraffin candles, they do not contain any additives, synthetic chemicals or leave behind black soot from smoke when they are burned. Be cautious when buying beeswax candles; some may only contain as little as 5% of beeswax so make sure the label says 100% pure beeswax. Also, make sure the candles don’t have a metal wire in the wick which could contain lead.

  • Good wick- The good candle would have the wick of the right size as well as length. A good wick would provide the right size of the flame with less or no deposits of carbon. 

  • Good oils- The scented candle will use the best oil for a goofy fragrance which is known for lasting for a longer time. 

Below are the types of candles and their usages-

  1. Taper candles- These candles are known for lasting nearly 10 hours and these cannot stand on their own. You must make sure of having support for them.

  3. Votive candles- These candles are small and are nearly 2.5 inches high with 2 inches diameter.
