Cold Throw versus Hot Throw

Beeswax candles are made with a natural wax that is derived from bee hives. This wax is then combined with essential oils to create a scented candle. There are two ways to enjoy the scent of these candles, through the cold throw or the hot throw.

The cold throw is when you first sniff the candle and the fragrance is still bound to the wax. The hot throw occurs when the flame of the candle heats up the wax and release the fragrance. Some people prefer one over the other, but both provide a unique and enjoyable experience.

Cold Throw

The cold throw is a more subtle way to enjoy the scent of the candle. You can smell the fragrance of the essential oil, but it is not as strong as when the candle is lit. The cold throw is often less aromatic due to the essential oils not being fully released, but some people prefer this because it is not as overwhelming. Additionally, the scent of the cold throw will last longer since it is not being burned off by the heat of the flame.

Hot Throw

The hot throw is a more intense way to enjoy the scent of the candle. The heat from the flame releases the fragrance of the essential oil and fills the room with its aroma. It is important to note that the hot throw will be stronger than the cold throw, so if you are sensitive to smells, it is best to choose a candle with a weak hot throw.

The hot throw is the most popular way to enjoy beeswax candles because it offers a more intense experience. The fragrance from the essential oils are released and fills the room with aroma. This allows the user to experience each note in unison from the top notes to the base notes. This is because when a candle is lit, the heat from the flame begins to melt the wax that the essential oils are bound to, this releasing the intended fragrance.

Summary

In order to get the most out of your beeswax candle, it is important to understand the difference between cold throw and hot throw. Each offers a unique experience that can be enjoyed depending on your preference. Keep in mind that the cold throw does not necessarily project what the hot throw will be. It is best to smell the candle before you purchase it to get an idea of the strength of the fragrance. If you are sensitive to smells, it is best to choose a candle with a weak hot throw. However, if you want to experience the full range of the fragrance, it is best to light the candle and enjoy both the cold throw and the hot throw.
