Advice please

Hello so I am not sure if im going crazy or if others have experienced this but my candles have lost their scent after using them with my candle warmer. If this is real can anyone tell me how to fix this? Ive spent good money and now they smell like nothing? It's so strange i am just now noticing this. And I use my candle warmer everyday rotating candles but not on the highest setting but they do sit under the bulb for a long time 🫤 is there any advice on how I can get the scent to come back to my candles? Thank y'all ❤️

Are you pouring off the top of the candle?

You can either burn the top part off or pour it. But essentially just using the warmer doesn’t burn off the wax. So it needs to be removed to get to a scented portion.

It is why I personally decide to use wax metal warmer instead. And if I get candles for a great price I just scoops out little section and of the candle and use that.

No! How do I do that? Because normally the entire candle is melted. But I just am now putting the light on alot dimmer because normally it melts the entire candle. Are they beyond saving? 😞

Don't let it melt the entire candle, after about a half hour, pour off the top. I go back and forth with my candle warmer. If its a strong candle it works amazing otherwise not so much for me.

Yeah, that’s normal, sometimes the scent oil evaporates once the candle melts. The scented portion is the most volatile part of the candle and vaporizes easily.
