Paraffin 4630 Cut Grass, Bright

Paraffin's natural high-throw profile pairs beautifully with the volatile top notes of Fresh Cut Grass. Pour temperature stays well below the 88°C flashpoint.

Ingredients

  • 460 gIGI 4630 Harmony Blend Paraffin
  • WickCD 10
  • Libbey 2917 Status Tumbler
  • 10.0%Fresh Cut Grass (Fragrance Oil)
  • 1.00%Vybar 103
  • Pour76°C

Burn notes

Approx. 40 hours per Libbey. Best in spring/summer rotations.

Method

  1. 01

    Weigh the wax precisely. Paraffin is unforgiving with off-recipe ratios.

  2. 02

    Melt the wax in a double boiler to 85°C, stirring to dissolve any flakes completely.

  3. 03

    Stir in Vybar if used at the recommended dose. Hold at 85°C for two minutes to incorporate.

  4. 04

    Cool the wax to 81°C, then add fragrance and dye and stir for two full minutes.

  5. 05

    Let the wax come down to 76°C. Pre-warm vessels to 50°C.

  6. 06

    Pour steadily. Paraffin can sinkhole, leave a small reserve and top up after the candle sets if needed.

  7. 07

    Cool slowly at room temperature. Cure for three to seven days before the first burn.

  8. 08

    Trim the wick to 5 mm. First burn: two to three hours to establish the full melt pool.
