Ideal for both beginners and experienced candle makers, AromaMax 800 is designed for container candles and typically requires just one pour.

How to Use AromaMax 800

1. Prepare your containers
Use clean, dry, heat-safe candle containers. Secure and center your selected wick before pouring.

2. Melt the wax
Using a double boiler or temperature-controlled wax melter, heat AromaMax 800 to approximately 170 - 180°F. Stir occasionally to ensure the wax melts evenly. Add candle dye, if desired, and mix until fully incorporated.

3. Add fragrance oil
Add your measured fragrance oil while the wax is approximately 170 - 180°F. Stir slowly and thoroughly for about 2 minutes to help distribute the fragrance evenly.

We recommend beginning your testing at an 8–10% fragrance load. AromaMax 800 is formulated for an 8 - 12% fragrance load, but adding more fragrance does not necessarily create a stronger candle. Always check the fragrance oil’s applicable usage limits.

4. Pour your candles
Allow the wax to cool to approximately 150°F before pouring slowly into your prepared containers. This is our recommended starting pour temperature.
For the best appearance, let candles cool naturally at room temperature, away from drafts and rapid temperature changes. If necessary, adjust your pouring temperature slightly to improve glass adhesion and surface finish.

5. Allow to cool and cure
Allow candles to cool and rest for at least 48 - 72 hours before initial burn testing. For a more consistent evaluation of fragrance performance, you may also compare results after approximately 7 - 10 days.

6. Perform a complete test burn
Before selling or gifting your finished candles, test the complete combination of wax, fragrance, dye, wick, and container. Evaluate flame behavior, melt pool development, soot, and container temperature throughout the candle’s usable life.

Recommended Wicks for AromaMax 800

CD wicks are our recommended first series to explore for AromaMax 800. ECO wicks are another option worth testing.

Use the inside diameter of your candle container - not the advertised jar capacity - to select an initial wick size.

Suggested CD Wick Sizes to Begin Testing

Inside container diameter    CD wick sizes to test
2.5 inches                               CD 8-10
3.0 inches                               CD 10-12
3.5 inches                               CD 14-16
4.0 inches                               CD 18-20, or evaluate double wicking

These wick sizes are suggested starting points for testing, not guaranteed recommendations. Fragrance load, dye, container shape, and other variables may require a smaller or larger wick.

For best results, test neighboring sizes and evaluate the full burn life of each candle. Wider containers may benefit from double wicking.

Candle Maker’s Tips

Getting smooth tops: Pour near 150°F and allow your candles to cool slowly and evenly. Minor surface imperfections may be corrected with a heat gun.

Minimizing frosting: Natural wax blends may develop some frosting. Consistent pouring temperatures, gradual cooling, and avoiding drafts can help reduce its appearance.

Improving glass adhesion: Make sure containers are clean and dry. Slightly warming containers before pouring and testing small adjustments in pouring temperature may help reduce wet spots.

Improving fragrance throw: Review your fragrance load, mixing procedure, wick size, and curing time. More fragrance oil is not always the solution.

Working in warmer climates: AromaMax 800 has increased heat stability, but finished candles should still be protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

Reducing soot or mushrooming: Trim the wick before burning, avoid drafts, and test a smaller or different wick if the flame is too large or produces excess soot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AromaMax 800 a 100% natural wax?

Yes. AromaMax 800 is an all-natural blend of coconut, soy, and apricot waxes. The exact proportions are part of our proprietary blend.

How much fragrance oil should I use?

We suggest starting at 8 - 10% fragrance oil by weight of wax. For example, an 8% load equals 1.28 oz of fragrance oil per 16 oz of wax. AromaMax 800 supports a recommended 8 - 12% fragrance load, but the ideal amount depends on the fragrance and your finished candle’s performance.

Does AromaMax 800 require a second pour?

Typically, no. AromaMax 800 is designed as a single-pour container wax with minimal contraction. However, container dimensions, cooling conditions, and fragrance choices can affect the finished surface.

What temperature should I pour AromaMax 800?

Start at approximately 150°F. Small adjustments may improve the surface finish and glass adhesion depending on your container and working environment.

How long should I let my candles cure?

Allow at least 48 - 72 hours before initial testing. Comparing fragrance performance again after approximately 7 - 10 days can help you determine the best curing schedule for your formulation.

Which wick works best with AromaMax 800?

CD wicks are a good starting series, with ECO wicks also worth evaluating. The correct size depends primarily on your container’s inside diameter, along with fragrance load and other formulation variables. Consult our Wick Guide for more information.

Can I use AromaMax 800 to make pillar candles or wax melts?

AromaMax 800 is formulated primarily for container candles. For freestanding pillars or molded wax melts, we recommend selecting a wax developed for those applications, such as AromaMax 750.

How is AromaMax 800 different from AromaMax 700?

Both are designed for container candles. AromaMax 800 is an all-natural coconut, soy, and apricot blend known for its creamy finish, minimal frosting, and increased heat stability. AromaMax 700 is a para-soy blend offering excellent fragrance performance and smooth single-pour results.

Does this wax need additional additives?

No. AromaMax 800 is pre-blended and ready to use with compatible fragrance oils and candle dyes. Additional wax additives are generally unnecessary.

A+ hot & cold throw but SF should help w/ wicking

"I am going to be blunt here. The hot and cold throw on this wax is amazing. Really impressive. But it is pretty ridiculous that Scented Flame's guidance for a wax that they are the sole supplier of essentially is just "perform wick testing to achieve the best burning characteristics. " Yes. Obviously. Of course the wax needs to be wick tested. Every wax on the market needs to be wick tested. That is not guidance. That is a disclaimer dressed up as advice, and from the only company on the planet selling this wax, it is honestly lazy. There's just no other way to put it. If you are going to be the sole source for a particular wax, if there is literally nowhere else a customer can go to find information about working with it, I think it is completely reasonable to expect you to provide some meaningful starting point for wicking. ESPECIALLY if it's a premium wax. Give us at least one wick series. Literally anything that gets the customer into the ballpark before they start burning through dozens of test candles trying to figure it out on their own. Yes, testing is part of candle making but you shouldn't have to do it blind, either. I am not expecting a manufacturer to hand me a finished recipe. Fragrance load, vessel diameter, vessel shape, additives, and a dozen other variables obviously mean that final wick selection has to be tested by each maker. I understand that. But there is a massive difference between "you still need to test" and providing absolutely zero meaningful direction on where to begin. One of those is responsible. The other is just offloading work onto your customers disguised as a suggestion. That lack of information is the primary reason this is a 3-star review instead of 5. Let me be clear about that: the wax itself is not the problem. The wax performs extremely well. The throw is fantastic, the melt is clean, and I genuinely want to love this product. If I were rating the wax purely on performance, it would be a 5 without hesitation. But this is a review of the full experience of using this product, and that experience included spending a significant amount of additional time and money buying wick after wick, series after series, trying to find a starting point that Scented Flame should have already provided. This is already a premium wax. It already costs more than most alternatives. Having to stack additional wick expenses on top of that, not because of normal fine-tuning but because I was essentially starting from scratch with no direction, really took the love out of it for me. One star loss for the lack of information. The other for the extra cost out of my pocket to buy a handful of different wick series to test with. I eventually figured out what works for my application. But I did that on my own dime, with my own supplies, through my own testing. That is part of candle making, absolutely. But I should not have had to start from nearly zero with a wax that Scented Flame has been selling long enough to know what wick families work well with it. Honestly, give me a discount on wicks and wax and I will test the hell out of it and write a proper wicking guide myself. Not joking. Different series, diameters of melt pool, with and without FOs. . . Customers deserve that kind of resource when there is only one place on earth they can buy the wax. The wax itself is impressive, and I have no problem recommending it based on its raw performance. But the complete absence of any meaningful, wax-specific wicking guidance from the sole supplier does not come across as "wicking is complicated. " It comes across as Scented Flame deciding that figuring it out is the customer's problem. And frankly, as the only company selling this wax, providing real wicking guidance is one of the simplest things they could do to help customers succeed with the product and to sell more of it. The fact that they haven't is a disservice to a wax that honestly deserves better support behind it. For a wax performing this well, that is a genuinely disappointing omission, and it is the entire reason this is a 3-star review instead of the 5 it could have easily been."

Amazing clean pour

"This wax dries and pours beautifully. I like the convenience of the soy beads but I'll take the slab of AromaMax 800 anyday. Its worth the time it takes to cut and prepare. I am still working with wick sizing but the HT and CT is AMAZING with wickless candles and wax melts."

Save some for me!

"My Oh My. 🤯 I know I know I should have waited . but I didn’t. I made a scent from my Autumn Selection (Apple Cinnamon and Pumpkin Apple Butter) - Scented Flame. My, this is a beauty. I made wax melts just to see it the scent would throw a good CT. AND YES! I put it in my oil warmer with a tea light candle, and this smelled up my whole condo. I will never buy from anyone else. PS! please never run out lol."
