Do you know what the melt pool is? It’s the layer of melted wax that forms around the candle’s wick while it burns and the wax melts.

A properly formed melt pool helps release the candle’s fragrance and ensures an even burn across the candle’s surface. If the melt pool is too small, the candle may leave unused wax around the edges. If the melt pool is too deep, the candle may create an oversized flame and burn too quickly.

There’s much more to a candle than meets the eye!

A mid-shift treat is always a good thing! Our Culture Club recently brought in a shaved ice truck, giving team members a chance to take a break, connect with coworkers and enjoy one last taste of summer.

Small moments like these help make our workplace a fun and supportive place to be. A big thank-you to our Culture Club for making it happen and for all they do to create a positive experience for our team!

Making a great candle is both an art and a science. 🕯️

At Alene Candles, we know that a clean, consistent and safe burn is essential to creating products consumers love—and brands trust. That’s why every candle undergoes rigorous testing throughout the development process.

In our testing facilities, we can:
🔥 Burn test up to 1,500 candles each day to evaluate performance and consistency.
❄️ Conduct stability testing that includes freeze-thaw cycles, fade resistance evaluations and accelerated aging to ensure candles maintain their quality over time.

Because exceptional candles don’t happen by chance.

Have you ever heard of the terms “cold throw” and “hot throw?” They’re both important to a candle’s fragrance—but they aren’t the same thing.

Cold throw is the scent a candle gives off when it isn’t burning. It’s the fragrance you smell when you remove the lid or walk past the candle on a shelf. Some candles emit a stronger cold throw than a hot throw, which is good if you want a continuous scent.

Hot throw is the fragrance released by a burning candle. As the wax melts and warms, it disperses scent throughout the room, creating the aroma you experience during use. A strong hot throw can cover a larger area with aroma.

Creating the perfect balance between cold throw and hot throw takes careful testing and a little bit of magic. Wax type, fragrance oil, wick selection and even the candle vessel all work together to ensure a candle smells just as good burning as it does sitting on the shelf.

Candles bring warmth, ambiance and comfort to any space—but you should always use them safely. Here are a few candle safety tips from World Candle Month to help you enjoy your favorite candles while keeping your home and loved ones safe.

🔥 Never leave a burning candle unattended.
🏠 Keep candles away from anything that can catch fire.
👧 Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
✂️ Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.
💨 Avoid placing candles in drafts, which can cause uneven burning.
🛑 Extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to bed.

💡 Did you know?

A candle jar is more than just a container.

Before selecting a vessel, manufacturers consider everything from how it will perform under heat to how it will look on a store shelf.

Some of the key factors include:
• Thermal stress and heat resistance
• Glass thickness
• Diameter and airflow around the flame
• Whether the design requires multiple wicks
• Branding and aesthetics
• Overall manufacturing costs

The right jar helps create a safer, better-performing candle, while making a strong first impression with consumers.

We’re proud of the Alene team members who recently participated in the Playhouse Build hosted by Habitat for Humanity Greater Nashua Manchester. This inspiring community event brings together businesses, volunteers and local organizations to build children’s playhouses and raise funds for Habitat’s affordable housing and Critical Home Repair programs, which give local families and homeowners safe, stable places to call home.

This year, our team helped design, build and finish two playhouses: Alina’s Kitchen Playhouse for Make-A-Wish New Hampshire and the Fairy/Garden Playhouse for Marguerite's Place, Inc. We were honored to receive the “Playhouse with the Most Heart” award for Alina’s Kitchen and the “Most Whimsical Playhouse” award for the Fairy/Garden Playhouse.

The playhouse kits were built by students in the Alvirne High School Building Trades Program, making this project a great example of what can happen when businesses, schools and nonprofits come together to make a difference!
