At The Candlehound, we are committed to delivering candles of the highest quality, ensuring exceptional scent throw, optimal burn time, and captivating melt patterns. Join us as we take you behind the scenes to discover the rigorous testing methods that guarantee our candles meet your highest expectations.
Scent Throw Assessment: One of the essential aspects of our candle testing process is evaluating the scent throw. We want our candles to fill your space with captivating fragrances that create a delightful ambiance. To achieve this, we carefully assess how well the fragrance distributes throughout the room when the candle is lit. Our team tests each fragrance in various room sizes and environments, considering factors such as the intensity, longevity, and overall performance of the scent.
Burn Time Evaluation: Burn time is another crucial factor we consider during the testing phase. We want to ensure that our candles burn consistently and provide you with hours of enjoyment. Our expert testers meticulously monitor the burn time of each candle, noting any variations and evaluating how well the wax melts and the flame's stability throughout the burning process. This allows us to determine the optimal wick size, wax composition, and other factors that contribute to a long-lasting burn.
Melt Patterns and Pooling: The appearance of the melted wax and the formation of a smooth and even melt pool are key indicators of a well-crafted candle. We carefully observe the melt patterns and how the wax pools as the candle burns. Our testers pay attention to factors such as tunneling (uneven melting) and excessive sooting, making adjustments as necessary to ensure an aesthetically pleasing and efficient burn.
Safety and Flame Stability: Ensuring the safety of our candles is of utmost importance to us. During testing, we carefully evaluate flame stability, monitoring factors such as flickering, excessive smoke, or potential issues with wick performance. Our goal is to provide you with a candle that burns beautifully while maintaining a safe and controlled flame.
Quality and Consistency: Consistency is key when it comes to our candles. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and perform rigorous quality control checks throughout the testing process. This includes assessing factors such as the evenness of wax distribution, fragrance consistency, labeling accuracy, and overall product presentation. By maintaining strict quality control measures, we ensure that every candle you receive meets our unwavering commitment to excellence.
At The Candlehound, we take pride in our comprehensive candle testing process. Our commitment to quality ensures that every candle that leaves our workshop has undergone thorough evaluation, resulting in a product that exceeds your expectations. We strive to create candles that not only ignite your senses but also provide a safe, consistent, and visually appealing experience.
