Scented soy candles burn 50% longer than paraffin candles. They are made from pure natural materials and produce almost no soot. Scented soy candles generate less heat and therefore disperse fragrance more evenly. Scented soy candles are ideal for the living room and offices where they add to the aesthetic value of the room. An increasing number of high-end spas also use them. These candles are available in a variety of colors and shapes, ranging from standalone models to the stylish jar candles. Scented soy candles make a good present for special occasions such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and Christmas.

Traditionally, aroma therapists used scented paraffin candles along with aromatic oils and perfumes. Those petroleum-based candles have some toxic effect. Scented soy candles provide a healthier option since they are non-toxic, totally natural, and produce less soot. The way these candles spread fragrance evenly appeals to aroma therapists. Fragrant oils extracted from flowers, plants, and trees are now increasingly used for making scented soy candles. These candles sport exotic names that are indicative of their scent. Some popular scents include Cinnamon Leaf, Gardenia, Pecan Pie, Crme Brlee, Lemongrass Basil, Cappuccino, and White Linen.

Scented soy candles are made from totally biodegradable materials. They are non-toxic and less likely to cause allergies. Furthermore, no animal fat is used in the making of scented soy candles. Animal-lovers and environmentally conscious people tend to favor them for that reason.

Scented soy candles are a popular gift item. They are available in a wide range of appealing scents and shapes, which include attractive jar-filled and tart-shaped candles. Handcrafted and custom-made scented soy candles are also available.
