Trouver la fragrance qui vous ressemble
Choisir une fragrance est une affaire très personnelle, et face à un choix aussi vaste, on peut vite se sentir perdu. Voici une méthode simple pour vous orienter.
Commencez par choisir entre huiles parfumées et huiles essentielles. Les huiles essentielles sont issues d’ingrédients naturels, tandis que les huiles parfumées sont composées de molécules olfactives de synthèse.
Pensez ensuite aux senteurs qui vous plaisent. Nous les avons réparties en quatre familles : agrumes et fraîcheur, florales, fruitées, orientales et boisées. Une fois votre famille choisie, parcourez notre sélection et consultez la fiche olfactive de chaque produit : vous y trouverez toutes les notes et nuances qui composent la fragrance.
Vérifier qu’elle convient aux fondants
Votre coup de cœur trouvé, vérifiez qu’il peut être utilisé dans un fondant, et à quelle concentration. Pour cela, ouvrez la fiche produit et cliquez sur « Voir les informations réglementaires ». Repérez ensuite le certificat IFRA de la fragrance et consultez la catégorie 12, qui fixe la concentration autorisée pour les fondants. Vous saurez ainsi si la fragrance convient à vos fondants, et jusqu’à quelle concentration l’utiliser.
Dye
Our solid Bekro dyes are highly concentrated colourants, available in all the colours of the rainbow. They will help you colour your wax melts in whatever shade you fancy, be it subtle or bold. We recommend using them at 0.1 – 0.2%”. The product page for each dye will give a specific recommendation, but you can experiment with higher or lower percentages to create your ideal shade.
Mica powders
Mica powders are vibrant powders that give a stunning shimmery aspect to wax melts. When melted, they make wax melts look like liquid metal. We recommend using them at 0.25% but experimentation is key.
Botanicals
Botanicals are dried and pressed flowers, barks and seeds - all responsibly sourced from high-quality natural materials. They are great to add a nature-inspired look to wax melts.
First pick a flat horizontal surface to work on, making sure it is clean, dry and clear. If possible, we would recommend working at an ambient temperature of 18 to 25°C in a well-ventilated area and closing all doors and windows to avoid variations in temperature. Now that your worktop is ready, gather all your components and weigh them ahead of time.
Unpack your mould or clamshell and clean it using a soft cloth to remove any dust, dirt or fingerprints. If using botanicals, put them into your clean recipient.
Using a Chandler & Me Candle Maker or a bain marie at 75 to 80°C, melt your dye while stirring continuously until liquid. Some dyes - particularly yellows - will melt at higher temperatures than others so be sure to keep stirring and gradually increase the temperature until your dye is fully liquid.
Bring your Chandler & Me Candle Maker or double boiler to your wax’s specific melt temperature (this can be found on the wax’s product page), then add your wax. Stir continuously until your wax is completely melted and has fully combined with your dye, if using.
Bring your Chandler & Me Candle Maker or double boiler to your wax’s recommended temperature of fragrance addition, which can be found on the wax’s product page. Add your fragrance to your melted wax and stir until homogeneous.
If using, add your mica to your fragranced wax and stir it continuously until your mixture is homogenous.
Bring your fragranced wax to your wax’s recommended pouring temperature. This can be found on your wax’s product page. Once at the correct temperature, slowly pour your mixture in your prepared vessels.
Leave your wax melt to cure for 48 hours in a room without draughts at an ambient temperature of 18 to 25°C.
