Test Your Candle & Scent Vocabulary

Since it's almost Back-to-School time, we thought it would be fun to share some knowledge with you about fun candle vocabulary and terminology - see how many you know the meaning of! 

A Candlemaker By Any Other Name...

Derived from the Old French word for chandelier, chandler is the term for a candlemaker. 

Scent Travels

Scent Throw is the term used to describe how well a candle disperses its intended scent. 

Tunneling

Tunneling happens when only a small portion of the wax around the wick melts while the candle is burning, leaving a ring of unmelted wax on the sides. 

It's always good to keep learning so we hope you enjoyed this moment of candle knowledge from your friends at Urban Wick Candle Bar!
