1. What is the Fragrance Ratio Calculation?

The Fragrance Ratio calculation determines the percentage of fragrance oil to use in scented candle making. This ratio is crucial for creating women's scented candles with optimal scent throw while maintaining proper candle performance and safety.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the fragrance ratio formula:

\[ Ratio = \left( \frac{\text{Fragrance Weight}}{\text{Wax Weight}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

Fragrance Weight — Amount of fragrance oil in ounces
Wax Weight — Amount of wax in ounces

Explanation: The formula calculates the percentage of fragrance oil relative to the wax weight, which is essential for achieving the perfect scent strength in women's scented candles.

3. Importance of Proper Fragrance Ratio

Details: Using the correct fragrance ratio ensures that candles have adequate scent throw without compromising burn quality, safety, or appearance. Too little fragrance results in weak scent, while too much can cause poor burning and safety issues.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both fragrance weight and wax weight in ounces. All values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the fragrance ratio percentage.
