A device that emits colored flames is disclosed. The device may include one or more electromagnetic coils within a housing. A fuel source may provide fuel such as hydrogen to an igniter at the input to the electromagnetic coil. The fuel may be ignited and a current may flow through the coil that may create a magnetic field. The ignited fuel may ionize creating an electric current that may accelerate the combusting particles through the coil. The current may create a magnetic field that may force the ionized particles into cyclotron orbits. Coloring additive such as salts may be added to the combusting fuel to provide color to the resulting flames.

A candle holder comprises a housing for securing a candle; the housing including first thermochromic material formed on the housing and second thermochromic material formed on the thermochromic material. The first thermochromic material changes a perceivable state of the first thermochromic material when an ambient temperature of first thermochromic material is above a first pre-determined activation temperature, the perceivable state of the first thermochromic material being visually perceivable or non-visually perceivable. The second thermochromic material changes a perceivable state of the second thermochromic material when an ambient temperature of second thermochromic material is above a second pre-determined activation temperature, the perceivable state of the second thermochromic material being visually perceivable or non-visually perceivable. The perceivable state of the first thermochromic material is different from the perceivable state of the second thermochromic material.

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 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.

Described herein are wax formulations and candles that contain synthetic linear primary alcohols. The wax formulations and candles exhibit one or more desirable properties, such as good flame height, good fragrance character, low mineral impurity levels and little or no discoloration.

A compound of formula (I) is described

and use thereof as fragrance, especially as lily-of-the-valley fragrance and/or as an agent for increasing the substantivity and/or the retention of a fragrance preparation and/or as a fixative.

Provided is a wick for a candle including a carbon material. In addition, provided is a candle including the wick for a candle. By using the wick for a candle according to the present invention, it is possible to provide the candle in which a length of the wick combusted at the time of combustion is not long and ash of the wick does not fall.

A method of forming a layered candle assembly includes positioning a candle core in a form. A layer of powdered wax is loaded into the form. The powdered wax layer has an outer region and an inner region. Mechanical force is applied to compress the outer region of the powdered wax layer and form an upper interface surface that is substantially non-horizontal. The outer perimeter of the interface surface is visible to an observer in the finished candle assembly. A liquefied fuel substance is poured over the top of the powdered wax layer to form a layer of solid wax. A wick may be added to at a desirable stage in the method of forming the layered candle assembly. The powdered wax and solid wax layers may each have a color or a combination of colors and/or a scent component or a combination of scent components.

A method of containing and removing melted wax or therapeutic oils (usually scented) while protecting the integrity of the receiving portion, or reservoir, of a warming mechanism, known typically as a wax warmer or diffuser. Such container (hereafter referred to as liner) being placed in direct contact with the base of the reservoir of the warming mechanism with wax or oils being placed inside the liner, rather than being placed directly into the reservoir of the warming mechanism itself. Such liner would simplify the process of removing the used melted or solid wax or oils from the reservoir of the wax warmer, providing a convenient method of disposing of used wax or oils and reducing or eliminating the messiness and potential dangers of traditional methods of removal. The liner also could be used as a storage container or for reusing removed wax or oils.
