The present invention relates to materials and systems useful for increasing the safety profile of a candle. In particular, the present invention provides a thermally-protective material that is useful to prepare labels or wraps to encircle or surround a candle. The present invention further provides a cool-touch thermally-protected candle assembly.

The various aspects presented herein relate to the perfumery industry. More particularly, the various aspects presented herein relate to the use of volatile compositions to limit, decrease or eliminate the perception of malodor. Such compositions include at least one malodor antagonist optionally combined with perfuming ingredients. Such compositions, their use in combination with delivery systems and their applications in consumer products are also objects of the present disclosure.

A stabilization composition for a scented candle formulation comprising: (A) an aromatic triazole compound of the formula (I)

##STR00001## wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrocarbon chain of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is a hydrocarbon chain of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and R.sub.3 is hydrogen or methyl; and (B) at least one longer wavelength UV light absorber, preferably a 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazole.

The present invention relates to the use of a composition containing 1,8-para-menthenethiol and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate, such as a plant extract and in particular an extract of timur (Zanthoxylum armatum), as odor-masking agent. It also relates to a deodorizing product in the form of an aerosol, candle, or electrical or wick fragrance diffuser, containing this composition.

Disclosed herein is a method of using dissipation factor to control the purification of candle wax compositions, comprising purifying a modified natural oil until a dissipation factor ranging from 0.0001-0.0600 is achieved.

Wax compositions are provided with improved properties for candles and candle jars. The candle wax composition includes a major amount of a foots oil and minor amount of a 600N slack wax. In one form, the foots oil is a 150N foots oil that is included in the composition at from 70 to 80 weight % of the composition and the 600N slack wax is included in the composition at from 20 to 30 wt % of the composition. The candle wax composition provides substantially no oil bleed and a smooth surface appearance with improved burning properties in terms of soot production, wax consumption, melt pool depth and flame height.

A wickless candle is provided, the candle comprising one or more sheets, the sheet including a first outer layer, a second outer layer and an inner layer therebetween to provide a thickness, the first outer layer and the second outer layer including a beeswax-based formulation, the inner layer including the beeswax-based formulation and a combustible substrate, the substrate including a plurality of fibers and a plurality of interstitial spaces between the fibers, the interstitial spaces retaining the beeswax-based formulation, wherein the beeswax-formulation in the interstitial spaces is continuous with the beeswax-based formulation of the first outer layer and the second outer layer.

A gel-type scented candle includes a container, a wick attached to and erected at the center of the inner bottom of the container, and a candle oil accommodated in the container, in which the candle oil is of a gel type made by adding a natural vegetable oil with a natural perfume and a natural pigment, and the container can be reused by being refilled with the candle oil by a user before or after use of the candle oil.

The present technology generally relates to fragrance compositions comprising essential oils and products comprising the same. The present technology also relates to methods of using the fragrance compositions to reduce fatigue and improve executive brain function.
