Essential oil sources
Plant species: There are many types of mint (such as peppermint, green mint), and the aroma of different types of mint essential oils is different.
Extraction method: The extraction method of essential oils (such as steam distillation, cold pressing, etc.) will affect the concentration and characteristics of the aroma.
Formula differences
Formula ingredients: Different factories may use different formulas, adding other spices or ingredients to enhance or blend the mint aroma.
Fragrance concentration: Different concentrations and usage ratios of essential oils will lead to differences in aroma intensity and persistence.
Types of wax
Wax ingredients: Different types of wax (such as soy wax, paraffin, beeswax) have an impact on the release and persistence of aroma. Some waxes may absorb and release aroma better.
Production process
Manufacturing process: The production process, temperature control and stirring methods of different factories will affect the final aroma of the candle.
Curing process: The speed at which the candle cools and cures may also affect the release of the aroma.
Storage and packaging
Storage conditions: The storage environment (such as temperature and light) of essential oil candles will affect the stability and persistence of the aroma.
Packaging materials: Different packaging materials may affect the aroma of candles, especially when stored for a long time.
Summary
The different aromas of peppermint essential oil candles made by each factory may be because they use peppermint essential oils from different sources or in different proportions. The intensity and quality of the mint aroma may depend on the type, quality and proportion of the peppermint essential oil selected. Some factories may choose different mint varieties or add other fragrances to the formula to blend the mint aroma, which leads to differences in mint flavor. In addition, the process, temperature control and other formulation factors during the production process may also affect the presentation of the final aroma.
