Why fragrance-free candles?

In recent years, I have developed a strong affinity for surrounding myself with scented candles and have also developed a deep appreciation for aromatherapy. However, as I gracefully age, I find myself becoming increasingly sensitive to overpowering scents, which can be quite bothersome. Consequently, I have had to exercise caution when selecting candles. Now that I have the ability to craft my own plant wax candles, I have developed a preference for fragrance-free varieties.

While there is a plethora of sellers offering scented candles, I have found that variations in essential oils can result in differing levels of fragrance, making no two lavender-scented candles alike. After numerous trials with scented candles and experimentation with various brand essential oils, I find myself inclined towards fragrance-free candles for a variety of reasons:

  • Hypoallergenic properties make fragrance-free candles suitable for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to scents.
  • The absence of harmful chemicals or artificial fragrances in pure plant wax candles makes them a healthier choice.
  • Pure plant wax candles actively neutralize odors rather than merely masking them.

At Senseful Crafts, we take pride in offering both scented plant wax candles imported from abroad and fragrance-free candles that are meticulously hand poured by us in Singapore. We allow our fragrance-free candles to cure for an extended period before making them available for purchase. Our commitment to using 100% coconut wax, 100% soy wax or 100% of other plant wax without any blending ensures that our candles maintain the utmost purity, preserving the inherent qualities of each wax variety.

We carefully source our 100% soy wax, coconut wax and other plant wax from reputable suppliers, believing in the reliability and quality of these sources.

For those who appreciate scented candles, I would encourage you to consider trying a fragrance-free candle at least once to fully appreciate the distinction.

Warm regards,
