Fragrance is the essence of scented soy candles, so obviously everyone that makes soy candles wants to make their candles the best scented out there! There are so many different fragrances and fragrance oil suppliers that it can be difficult to know which fragrances throw well in soy wax and which suppliers carry the best fragrances.
Hot scent throw is what every candle maker strives for. A candle can have an awesome cold throw, but then when you burn it for awhile it may do poorly with the hot throw.
This is why it's so important to buy the right fragrance oils. There's nothing worse than spending a bunch of money on candle fragrance oils and then finding out they do not have a good hot scent throw!
It is best to buy fragrance oils that are made specifically for soy wax or have been known to throw nice and strong in soy because not all fragrance oils work well with soy.
So I am going to list oils from a few different soy candle fragrance oil suppliers that I know to give a good hot throw in soy candle wax. These are oils that I have used and highly recommend. I have by no means tried all the oils that these suppliers carry, so that'll be up to you if you want to try some other kinds. Many candle making suppliers carry 1oz samples of their oils, so it is wise to start with that and do some testing of your soy candles before deciding on buying more in bulk.
Remember that fragrance oils will differ from company to company. You may buy one that throws wonderfully in your soy candles and then buy the same fragrance from another company and get poor results!
When I was searching for a good coffee scent, I bought samples from 4 different places and none of them smelled the same. I thought that the coffee scent from Candlesoylutions in the list below was the truest black coffee fragrance (I do use the max amount of that one since it is harder to get any coffee scent to throw strong)
