Scented pillar candles – only one of
many options
First, don’t get confused about scented
pillar candles and votive scented candles - there are
differences.
Pillar candles are genuine freestanding candles, which should
be burned in a plate-type holder, whereas votives are really
container candles without the container, and must be used in a
suitable holder.
The plus side of pillar candles is that they come in so many
shapes and sizes - tall, short, fat, thin, tapered, square,
round, triangles, pyramids - the list is almost endless....
There are lots of price options, and savings on discount or
wholesale pillar candles can be substantial.
You can choose between paraffin wax, beeswax or soy pillar
candles, scented or unscented.
The pricing options are equally varied – wholesale pillar
candles, discount pillar candles, even those simply described
as cheap pillar candles.
Pillars go wonderfully in groups, so buy varying sizes if you
can - short, tall, different diameters, etc.
When you group them, remember to keep them a few inches from
one another, so that the heat from one candle does not cause
its neighbour to start to melt or drip.
The best pillar candles are made of food-grade wax. That
doesn't mean you can eat it - just that it is suitable for use
with food packaging, etc.
