In our laboratory, a precise thermostatic bath holds a blend of soy and coconut wax at exactly 58°C, the optimal temperature for locking in the top notes of Sicilian lemon before the heart notes of French lavender are added—this is where scent transcendence begins.

With seventeen years of meticulous experimentation, our Aroma Factory has moved beyond viewing wax as a mere fuel. We understand it as the fundamental architecture of fragrance, a variable that dictates not just burn time, but the very personality, throw, and soul of a scent. The choice and combination of wax bases is a precise discipline, blending material science with olfactory art.
01 The Material Science: Deconstructing the Three Pillars of Wax
Each primary wax base possesses a distinct molecular personality that dictates performance.
Cera de soja, derived from hydrogenated soybean oil, has a low melting point (typically 49-82°C) and a soft, porous crystalline structure. This allows it to hold a high fragrance load (up to 12%), promoting a clean, slow, and cool burn that optimally releases complex scent notes. Its drawbacks include a tendency for frosting (a crystalline, whitish appearance) and less-than-ideal vessel adhesion.
Cera de Coco, made from cold-pressed coconut meat, is the premier choice for luxury. With a slightly higher melt point (52-57°C), it burns cleanly and slowly, creating an exceptionally smooth, creamy pool. It excels in fragrance "throw" (both hot and cold) and has a beautiful, opaque white finish. Its primary constraint is cost, often 2-3 times that of soy.
Paraffin Wax, a petroleum by-product, is the most versatile and cost-effective. Its high melting point range (46-68°C) allows for detailed molding and a consistently smooth surface. It offers excellent scent throw, especially when hot. However, it burns hotter and faster than plant-based waxes and produces more soot, which can affect air quality and scent purity.
02 The Alchemy of Blending: Creating Superior Performance Wax
Pure waxes have limitations; blends create synergies. Our proprietary blends are engineered to transcend these limitations.
O nosso Signature Blend (a coconut-soy hybrid) is designed for luxury. The coconut wax provides a hard, creamy texture and powerful scent throw, while the soy wax moderates cost, improves burn time, and enhances fragrance binding. The result is a candle with unparalleled cold aroma, a pristine melt pool, and a clean, consistent burn.
For complex container designs, we use a Paraffin-Soy Composite. A small percentage of specially refined paraffin increases the blend’s structural integrity, preventing cracking and improving glass adhesion, while the soy base ensures a cleaner burn and higher fragrance load than paraffin alone. This blend masters the balance between aesthetic perfection and performance.
03 The Fragrance-Wax Synergy: It’s All About Chemistry
Not all scents perform equally in all waxes. Selecting the right pairing is critical.
Citrus, Herbal, and Light Floral scents (e.g., lemon, rosemary, lily) are fragile. They thrive in cooler-burning waxes like pure soy or coconut blends, which gently release the delicate top notes without scorching them. A hot paraffin burn can obliterate these nuances.
Rich, Deep, and Woody fragrances (e.g., sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla) require heat to fully unfold. They perform magnificently in paraffin or paraffin-blend waxes, where the higher melt temperature robustly projects the dense base notes. In a pure soy wax, these heavy scents can sometimes become muted.
Our process involves rigorous Fragrance Load Testing for each new oil in every wax blend. We determine the precise percentage at which the wax is saturated without weeping or impacting burn stability, ensuring maximum aroma impact.
04 The Precision of Process: Temperature is Everything
The craftsmanship lies in the controlled execution. The entire production process revolves around precise temperature zones.
The Melt and Fragrance Incorporation Point is non-negotiable. Adding fragrance oil too hot (above 70-75°C) causes "flash-off," where the most volatile top notes evaporate before the candle even sets. Adding too cold results in poor binding and scent separation. We incorporate oils between 65-70°C for our blends, a golden range determined by years of calibration.
The Pouring Temperature dictates the final finish. Pouring too hot can cause excessive shrinkage, sinkholes, and poor scent retention. Pouring too cool leads to a lumpy surface and poor adhesion to the vessel. We target a pouring range of 55-60°C for our premier blends to achieve a perfectly smooth top and optimal crystal structure for fragrance release.
05 Beyond the Burn: A Commitment to Conscious Craft
Today’s discerning customer seeks more than just a pleasant scent; they seek integrity.
Our core philosophy champions plant-based, renewable waxes (soy and coconut) as the standard. They are biodegradable, come from sustainable sources, and burn cleaner. We use paraffin selectively and intentionally only in specific performance blends, always opting for the highest refined grade to minimize impurities.
This commitment extends to wick pairing. A wax blend’s density, melt point, and fragrance load directly dictate the ideal wick size and material (cotton, wood, or hybrid). An incorrectly paired wick will drown in a melt pool or tunnel down the center, ruining the experience our wax science worked to create. Every new vessel and blend undergoes exhaustive wick testing.
06 The Proof is in the Burning: Our Promise of an Experience
The ultimate test of our wax science is the burning experience we deliver to your home.
A candle made with our scientifically blended wax will burn evenly and completely from edge to edge, maximizing its lifespan and ensuring you enjoy every gram of wax and fragrance you paid for. You will notice a clean, consistent flame with minimal to no sooting on the vessel.
Most importantly, it will deliver a true and layered fragrance experience. From the moment you remove the lid (the "cold throw") to the gentle diffusion throughout the room (the "hot throw"), the scent profile will be vibrant, nuanced, and exactly as our perfumers intended. This faithful translation from bottle to wax to air is the highest achievement of our craft.
