Citronella Candles Are Another Great Option For Outdoor Candles






Citronella candles are another great option for outdoor candles. How many times have you been having a BBQ or a meal outside and flies and other insects ruin the party for you? Citronella candles are candles which are mixed with essential oil from citronella, a grass native to Asia. The main producers of Citronella oil is China and Indonesia these 2 countries produce nearly 40% of the worlds oil, it is used as a natural insect repellent with citronella candles classically being used to keep insects like mosquitoes away from decks, campsites, and other outdoor locations. Citronella candles are an effective mosquito repellent.



Citronella Candles, like any other candle, should always be used with candleholders including and T-lights. Avoid placing them directly onto a surface, ensure the wick is kept trimmed and that the flame is not in a very exposed area. People light citronella candles on porches and patios in the evening to allow their family or friends to gather without being bitten by bugs. Citronella candles can also add style to your garden and be a part of your outdoor decorations. Research has shown that the oil has great a great effect in repelling the Aedes aegypti or the yellow fever mosquito. Research has also shown the oil is a great repellent for body louse and head louse.

The oil is used extensively as a source of perfumery chemicals such as citronellal, citronellol and Geraniol. These chemicals as used extensively in soap, perfumery, cosmetic and the flavouring industries throughout the world.

You can also purchase votive candles for use indoors, normally in sets of about 20 for about $15.00, as far as I understand you can also purchase just the oil from Amazon that costs about $10.00 for around 50 oz, but mostly you’ll find the candles in a decorative bamboo casing.

>> Thursday 25 March 2010

There are a wide variety of different candle fragrance oils you can buy from around the world, most oils are very reasonable priced from about $2.00 upwards, a sweet blend of Almond, Milk and Honey with a touch of Hawthorn to rain a blend of rose & lily of the valley on a strong musk background. Literally thousands of oils can be purchased online the only problem with that is you cannot smell what you are buying in the first place and it may not be what you were expecting, so that way of purchasing candle fragrance oils can be a bit hit and miss. So I would advise anyone to purchase small amounts at the beginning and if you like the aroma you can get a bigger quantity



Prices for fragrance oils can range from £2.50 for a 1fl oz to round about $23.00 for 16fl oz.Flavoured oils range from are approximately the same price.At the present time my favourite supplier is southern garden scents.com they have well over 10 years ofexperience in the fragrance and oil business my supplier offers you quality supplies along with the personal touch you won't receive from other bath & beauty, soap and candle making suppliers. Shipping is free with orders of over $100.00 and it is very quick you’ll get your order within a couple of days. At the present time the top selling oils are Black Pepper, this is an elusive blend of wonderful spices on a platform of wood and musk, Raspberry and Vanilla, has a blend of raspberry, peach, lemon, and of course strawberry, Apple Jack & Peel this is my favourite a winner in my eyes invigorating the scent is correct for anytime of year it is refreshing and cozy it is crisp from the goodness of apples but has a zingy crisp tang of orange peel topped off with nutmeg, clove.

Top of the charts for flavoured oil is Marshmallow, Ginger/Peach and Passion fruit.

Whatever your choice there are plenty of candle fragrance oils available to choose from and at extremely competitive prices. So go ahead and take your pick from thousands of fragrances.
