How do they get candles to be so aromatic ?

Asked by Judi (40025points) November 4th, 2013 from iPhone

Years ago I started looking into essential oils because Hubby is really picky about candles and I wanted to make my own. A few years later I am using oils every day for health and wellness but I have yet to make a candle.
I’ve tried to spruce up a candle by adding oils to it and the results have been less than impressive. Does anyone know how to get the scent to work in a candle? Are some waxes better at transmitting the scent than others? What’s the science behind it? How do companies get their candles to be so aromatic? Do they all resort to chemicals?
