1. What is a long-lasting scented candle?

A long-lasting scented candle is about more than just its burn time. It’s also characterized by gradual wax consumption, a steady flame, and a pleasant diffusion of its fragrances. Careful design ensures that you can fully enjoy each use without the wax burning away prematurely.

The longevity of a fragrance is another important factor. A high-quality candle continues to release its fragrant notes after it’s been extinguished, thanks in part to the residual heat of the wax. This lingering scent prolongs the atmosphere created in the room, even after the flame has gone out. It is this combination of steady burning, fragrance diffusion, and prolonged enjoyment that we prioritize in our selection of Chogan scented candles.

2. How long can a scented candle burn?

The burn time of a scented candle depends on several factors, including its size, the amount of wax, and its design. A large candle generally burns for more hours, but its weight alone does not determine how long it will last. The composition of the wax, the type of wick, and the evenness of the flame also affect how quickly it burns.

To better understand this, let’s take the example of our Chogan scented candles, which are available in two sizes:

  • 190-gram candle: burns for about 38 hours.

  • 400-gram candle: up to 80 hours of burn time.

These durations refer to the cumulative time the candle remains lit, not the total duration of its fragrance release. In fact, after the flame is extinguished, the still-warm wax continues to release its fragrances for some time, thereby prolonging the fragrant atmosphere without consuming any additional wax.

It is therefore important to distinguish between burn time and scent longevity. A candle with an 80-hour burn time can provide a fragrant experience that extends beyond those hours of burning, depending on its composition and the conditions under which it is used.

3. What are the criteria for a long-lasting scented candle?

The composition of the wax plays a key role in the quality of a long-lasting scented candle. In particular, it affects how the candle burns and releases its fragrance. The right wax, combined with a properly sized wick, promotes even burning and consistent fragrance diffusion.

This is one of the key benefits of the plant-based wax used in our selection of Chogan scented candles. Designed to ensure the wax burns evenly and releases scents gradually, it allows you to enjoy a pleasant, fragrant atmosphere with each use. This choice highlights the importance of the candle’s composition—beyond simply the number of hours it burns.

4.1 Fragrances to Create a Unique Atmosphere

You don't choose a long-lasting scented candle just for how long it lasts. The pleasure also lies in the scents it releases and the atmosphere it creates in your home.

Our Chogan scented candle collection, created by Cooperativa Profumieri, offers five fragrance themes to suit a variety of tastes. LAVÉA, with notes of lavender, invites you to relax, while MUSKÉ, with its white musk, creates a soft and enveloping ambiance. For a more intimate and warm atmosphere, ROSÉA combines rose with cinnamon.

Fans of woody scents will enjoy NOIRÉ, whose delicate notes add a touch of elegance to any room. Finally, MÉLIA combines honey and jasmine to create an atmosphere that is both sweet and floral.

With their variety of scents and minimalist design, these candles let you personalize the atmosphere of every room while adding a touch of elegance to your decor.

4.2 Scented candles designed to last

Chogan scented candles combine plant-based wax with a design intended to promote even burning and a gradual release of fragrance. Special attention is paid to the olfactory experience, so you can enjoy your favorite scents with every use.

Available in various sizes depending on the product, they offer a burn time tailored to your preferences. For example, the MÉLIA candle has an estimated burn time of up to 50 hours for the 190-gram size and 90 hours for the 400-gram size, depending on usage conditions and wick maintenance.

These durations refer only to the burning time. The scent may continue to diffuse after the candle is extinguished due to the residual heat of the wax.

Whether you're looking for a soft, floral, or enveloping scent, discover our selection of Chogan candles and choose the one that will enhance your moments of relaxation.

5. How can you make your scented candle last longer?

To get the most out of your long-lasting scented candle, there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure it burns evenly and retains its fragrance with each use.

  • Take care when lighting the candle for the first time: let the wax melt evenly across the surface to prevent a hollow from forming around the wick.

  • Limit burning time: For Chogan candles, never burn them for more than 2 consecutive hours. The wax, while still warm, can continue to release its scent even after the candle has been extinguished.

  • Maintain the wick: Remove any residue and trim it if necessary once the candle has cooled to ensure a steady flame.

  • Choose the right spot: Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from drafts.

  • Wait until the candle has completely burned out: extinguish it completely when there is about 1 cm of wax left at the bottom.

Finally, never leave a lit candle unattended, and wait until it has cooled completely before moving it.

To get the most out of your scented candle, be sure to air out your home regularly, especially after using it. Find more tips in the ADEME’s recommendations.
