I am having fun making candles that are 50% beeswax and 50% paraffin. But I cannot get them to accept any scents I use. I have tried essential oils and special candle scents from Nature's Garden. I have used 1 ml of essential oil per ounce of candle as I have read elsewhere, and sometimes even more than that. The candles smell nice when they are cold but there is absolutely no scent when you burn them or it is very mild. I have read that the beeswax natural scent is hard to cover. Any ideas?????
