Anthropologie candles smell great, but they barely emit any fragrance! What am I doing wong?

You can increase the scent throw of Anthropologie candles if they smell great but emit little fragrance:

Start by burning the candle properly. First, let the candle burn for 2-3 hours to create a melted wax pool that reaches the container's edge. This allows subsequent burns to release fragrance consistently. Remember to trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn to avoid overheating and reduce fragrance.

Also, consider candle placement. Avoid drafty areas that can blow the flame and scent away. To let the scent fill the room, place it in a still, well-ventilated area. For even burning and fragrance release, aim for a melt pool that reaches the container edges during subsequent burns. Be careful not to blow out the candle, as this can reduce its fragrance. Snuff the flame with a spoon or snuffer dipped in water.

If fragrance throw is still lacking, try other methods. A candle warmer can melt wax and release fragrance without a flame. This works well if you're worried about candle scent throw. Make a DIY diffuser from the candle container. For continuous fragrance, add carrier oil and a few drops of candle-scented essential oil.
