What's in a candle? Fragrance Oils-A Limitless Canvas

Fragrance Oils-A Limitless Canvas

Fragrance oils are synthetically man-made. Their special formulation allows man to breach the confines placed by nature and create any scent desired, resulting in a limitless canvas sure to please the most discerning palate.

Fragrance Oils-The Perfect Balance

Fragrance oils are most widely available and come in a variety of grade levels at every price point, so care should be utilized in their selection. To dilute their tendency to make the air heavy with a thick aroma after extended burning and to increase the component of luxury, some fragrance oils include a blend of naturally-derived essential oils. A direct correlation exists between the percentage of essential oils in a fragrance blend and its grade level (the more highly valued the fragrance blend, the more essential oils it contains). Akeewakee is committed to using only the finest ingredients, obtaining all of our oils exlusively from a fifth generation expert perfumer.

Fragrance Oils-Enhanced Scents

One benefit that fragrance oils provide is a far-reaching, quickly activated, hot scent throw. Unlike pure essential oil candles which have a far more subtle scent and close-knit circle of aroma permeation, fragrance oils are able to diffuse rapidly through large or open spaces. Thus, the consummate choice for large gatherings or entertaining out-of-doors: opulently blended, fragrance-and-essential oil candles. Likewise, they provide the most gracious option for masking pungent odors swiftly, say when you've yet to get your dogs to the groomers and unexpected company pops in. 

Fragrance Oils-Favorites

My personal favorite, Patchouli Fir. It's remarkable secret? The percentage of essential oils in the Patchouli Fir fragrance blend is a whopping 98%, and yet, its scent is the most intense of any candle, lit or unlit, on the market today. It's amazing! I love the fresh, invigorating forest aroma. I use this candle when I'm moving about my home or having large parties. Others feel the same way about Jasmine Geranium. Both are in Akewakee's White Medallion line. If you'd like to experience a fragrance blend from our new Extra Virgin collection, Rose Bark couples sophisticated rose petals with the deep grounding notes of aged wood. Very pleasant and unique, a perfect marriage of both feminine and masculine components.

What's in a candle? Essential Oils-A growing trend

Essential Oils-Environmentally Friendly

Candles embued with essential oils are the perfect choice for anyone who desires to live their life with respect for the Earth and its natural resources. Essential oils are naturally made and derived from renewable plants, unlike the more commonly available fragrance oils which are man-made synthetically.

Essential Oils-Highly Select

Only a finite number of essential oils are available, conditioned by the number of plants in nature which yield a pliable and redolent oil. The rarity of essential oils compared to fragrance oils make them a more luxurious option, priced accordingly. Akeewakee is able to offset this price discrepancy by purchasing thousands of pounds of oil each year through our fifth-generation expert perfumer. Thus, we are able to offer the premium essential oil candle lines at extremely competitive pricing. As a bonus, Akeewakee's new Extra Virgin collection delivers our essential oil blends for no added surcharge.

Essential Oils-Authentic, Clean, Light Aromas

The pure essential oils candle has a very authentic aroma which is unmistakenly natural. It's like having a real bouquet of flowers on your desk, or being in the kitchen peeling citrus fruits one after the other. Perfect for smaller spaces; the air remains clean and light, yet there is a constant aroma of bliss nearby. When you plan to enjoy your candles for an extended period of time, such as during an intimate dinner party, or will be in close proximity to the candle, such as during a marathon work day at the office, you'll find the essential oil candle to be exquisite.

Essential Oils-Favorites

The new Extra Virgin line features three of my favorite scents: Pink Lemon, Young & Woody, and Moondrop. Pink Lemon has a citric tartness tempered with sweet vanilla, perfect for an afternoon gathering with friends, or a day in the kitchen creating culinary delights. Young & Woody has a fresh, crisp, green scent. Moondrop is heavenly, as if gazing into a starry summer night sky while the Earth releases aromas of greenery, sleepy lavender, and grounding woods. Moondrop now has a permanent place on my nightstand!

Essential Oils-Aroma-therapeutic Qualities

We hope we've helped you gain a little knowledge of the beauty of pure essential oil candles, and how to use them most advantageously. The aroma-therapeutic qualities of pure essential oil candles can not be duplicated; we're certain their discovery will enhance and compliment your lifestyle as richly as it has ours. 

It's new and it's now!
