Also unscented pillar candles

Some pillar candles have a solid color throughout, while others have a white core and a colored outer.

The ones with a white center tend to be stronger, as solid colors absorb more sunlight and heat, and could bend more easily.

When choosing your pillar candles, remember that size is important.

Because candles have a “memory”, the first time you light a pillar candle allow it to burn long enough to create a pool of wax that covers the diameter of the candle - in other words, the complete top surface of the candle.

If you don’t, the next time you use it the candle will burn only as wide as the first pool created, and it won’t burn as evenly as it should.

Eventually you’ll end up with a candle with a tunnel through it that will become increasingly difficult to light (although the translucent effect can be attractive, if a little wasteful inside a scented pillar candle).

It will take about an hour for every inch in diameter of the candle, so if you buy a 2 or 3 inch diameter candle be prepared to leave it alight for several hours the first time you use your scented pillar candle.
