Watch out for that sneaky nose of yours! When it comes to comparing scents and scent throw of different candles, it cannot always be trusted!
It's got to do with Sensory Adaptation, which is when a weak simulation is not detected by your brain after being exposed to a strong simulation.
What does that have to do with scent throw???
Well, if you want to test different candles, different waxes, different additives to see which has the best scent throw, you need to consider the effects of sensory adaptation. Smelling one candle might affect the way you would smell the other.
Surprisingly enough, Candle Making Techniques explains just how you can use sensory adaptation to compare both cold and hot throws.
So read how to do and trust your nose!
