Question about Essential Oils

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

We have 4 large dogs, so I keep jar candles on candle warmers to keep the house smelling nice in the winter when we can't open the windows and bathe the dogs as regularly.

After a while, the scent wears off and I have to buy new candles.  This starts getting expensive.  There's nothing wrong with the wax, it just doesn't smell.  Would it work if I purchased some essential oil and then added a few drops to the melted wax?  If so, is there a special kind of oil I should look for?

Thanks for your help.  I appreciate your comments.

I've made candles with used wax (unscented) and added essential oils to them while the wax was liquid. I find just a few drops works well for a large candle.
I'm not sure if it matters what type of oil.

Thank you.  We have some shops downtown that have candles and oils, so I'll stop in there.

You're very welcome, sorry I couldn't help ya more!!

I would stay away from the citrus essential oil though because they have a very low flash point and will burn off faster.  The exception to that is Lemongrass.
