23) How do you make frangipani candles? What supplies do you need to make them?

Frangipani is the name for plumeria flowers in Tahiti, and the scent is extremely soothing and fragrant, just as if you were sniffing the brightly colored flowers. Making frangipani candles will follow the same process as making other candles but the trick is to find a good brand of fragrance oil to add to mimic the smell of the gorgeous flowers.

“The Purple People Market Place” is an online supplier of essential oils and fragrances that can be used for making candles, dripping over potpourri to freshen the smell, making perfumes, massage oils and soap making. They offer the frangipani scent in an alcohol free, essential oil, perfect for creating the frangipani-scented candles!

Melt the candle wax of your choice in your double boiler or crockpot, to the recommended temperature indicated on the package. Just before you are ready to pour your candle wax into the candle mold or candleholder, add your frangipani fragrance oil and stir to mix it throughout the wax, being careful not to over heat. You don’t want to add the scented oil too soon, as you’ll lose some of the scent as it keeps heating. When your candle hardens, you’ll have the scent of frangipani every time you light your candle!
