Adding the Fragrance

David Fisher
After you've added the colorant, slowly pour the fragrance oil into the melted wax. When the fragrance hits the melted wax, it may cause a bit of wax to solidify briefly. Don't worry, it will remelt when you stir.

Stir the wax to blend the fragrance into the melted wax. For this candle, I used 1 ounce of a cool citrus fragrance called "Country Clothesline."
