Recipe for 30cl, A05, Indian Lemongrass and Lime Peel 

 

Fragrance Description 

One of our best-selling oils, this standout scent is part of our Open Plan Living collection and is known for its incredible room-filling quality. A refreshing burst of citrus opens the fragrance, blending crisp lime zest and lemon peel with the clean, herbal notes of lemongrass. Soft floral undertones of jasmine bring balance, while rosewood adds a subtle warmth to the base.

1. Prepare Your Workspace

  • Ensure your containers are clean and dry.

  • Pre-wick your jars using wick stickers or a glue gun.

  • Place containers on a protected surface, ready for pouring.

2. Melt the Wax

  • Weigh out the desired amount of A05 wax.

  • Gently heat to 75°C, using a double boiler or controlled wax melter.

  • Monitor the temperature carefully.

3. Add Fragrance Oil

  • Once the wax reaches 75°C, remove it from heat.

  • Add your measured fragrance oil (e.g., 6–10% depending on preference).

  • Stir thoroughly for at least 60 seconds to fully bind the fragrance with the wax.

4. Pour the Candle

  • Let the wax cool slightly to 65°C.

  • Pour slowly and evenly into your prepared containers.

  • Leave a small gap at the top (typically around 1cm).

5. Smooth the Surface (If Needed)

  • If the surface appears uneven or has sinkholes, gently use a heat gun to level the wax once it’s set.

6. Cure: Stage One – Wick Testing

  • Allow the candles to cure for 2 days at 18–22°C.

  • Conduct initial wick tests after this period to assess burn performance.

7. Cure: Stage Two – Scent Throw

  • For optimal scent throw, cure your candles for an additional 7–14 days before use or sale.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
