Well made, 100% Soy Wax candle is very clean burning, and will give a pleasant scent throw that is a truer imitation of the scent it’s named for. However, few Soy wax candles have a “strong” scent throw, and if it is 100% Soy wax, it will have at least some frosting on the top and sides of the candle. A 100% Soy wax candle would be a perfect candle for those who love to burn candles, but find that most are just too overpowering.Paraffin wax has been the most popular type of candle on the market, but it is quickly losing ground to natural waxes.

A well made Paraffin wax candle will have a strong scent throw, but also tends to emit more smoke and soot than natural wax candles. I haven’t seen a Paraffin wax candle yet that didn’t leave a heavy black film on the jar, and smoke while burning. Unfortunately, Paraffin wax candles also tend to have a slight “chemical” smell while burning. For those who love Paraffin wax candles, and have never tried a natural wax candle, they wouldn’t even notice it, but it is there.
