I am a Neurologist. That might seem like a strange avenue into candle making, but it also explains why I started pouring them. Fragrances have the power to elevate our mood and elicit vivid memories. The reason is because our sense of smell is directly connected to an area of the brain associated with emotions and memory. No other nerve in the human body does that! Consequently, the fragrances we surround ourselves with have a significant impact on our mood and cognitive functioning. And candle making itself is a science. It is chemistry and physics. There is constant testing and experimentation. Of course, candle making is also an art. Quality candles smell, look, and feel beautiful. There are no short cuts when creating them. It takes time and attention. It requires the finest materials and skills only experience can provide.
