Product Description
From Amazon
Aromatherapy remains tremendously popular, and candles are of course natural components of this practice. Rhondda Cleary discusses the basics of essential oils and perfumed candles, including brief guidelines on what scents enhance what mood. But this is really not so much a book about fragrance (which it addresses almost glancingly) as it is about general candle making and decorating with candles, which it covers quite well. Cleary explains exactly how to make a molded candle and many variations thereof (striped, mosaic, ice, embedded, floating), as well as dipped and beeswax candles. The second portion of the book offers suggestions for using candles in the home and garden: for everyday decorating, holiday celebrations, table arrangements, and so on. Although the step-by-step instructions and photographs are adequate, they are not outstanding; where the book really shines is in its approach to making candles part of our daily lives and in encouraging us not simply to make candles but to use them. --Amy Handy
Book Description
The only thing more romantic and mood enhancing than a flickering candle is a candle with the heavenly scent of essential oils. Craft your own, which will beautifully combine color, shape, and fragrance. In addition to instructions for melting, molding, and dyeing the wax, an aromatherapy guide will help you choose the right scent for that special ambience.

Great for beginners or experts,
By Davidnjxn (Jackson, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fragrant Candles: A Practical Guide to Making Candles For The Home & Garden (Paperback)
This book explains most of the terminology involved in candle-making, as well as explanations of different techniques and step-by-step instructions for getting started. Each style of candle described includes a list of equipment needed and great photographs of the finished product. There is a detailed description for each style of candle and hints on how to overcome more difficult steps. Each style of candle is followed up with the exact making process, including notes on the author's personal experiences and failings (and how to avoid repeating them.) This has been a very enjoyable book. It was also my first candle-making book.
