The candle that never stops smelling: prepare it with just a few ingredients at home

By Lesia

Have you ever heard of the so-called  eternal candle  ? It is the one that  never stops smelling  . You can prepare it with just a few ingredients, right at home. This is what you need to  perfume all the rooms in your home  .

Candles, the most sought-after fashion accessory in the world

You may have noticed how the trend of having the house full of candles  has recently spread  . We are not talking about the classic ones for lighting, but rather the  scented ones  that not only beautify the rooms but also give them a pleasant fragrance.

Candles can now be considered real  decorative accessories  and perhaps among  the most natural trends  that are good for the home and do not even harm the environment.

Some are made with  particular fragrances  and are used for  aromatherapy purposes  , that is, to provide relaxation and tranquility to the person who inhales the perfume. On the other hand, others are able to  keep insects such as flies and mosquitoes away from our homes  . In short, for whatever purpose you want to use them, candles always come in handy.

But what is  the drawback  that always occurs, every time we buy them? Obviously the fact that  they wear out  . However, did you know that there are  so-called eternal candles  ? These are the ones that  never stop smelling  . Here’s how you can make them at home too, with just a few ingredients.

The candle that never stops smelling: here are the ingredients to make it

Candles are among the trendiest and most sought-after accessories of the moment and are   adorning  many people’s homes . They are the  stars of decoration and design, and are not only beautiful but also super-fragrant.

When we find ourselves buying  candles  , however, we know that sooner or later  they will end up going out  – since the wax they are made of is consumed – and above all that they will stop smelling: their scent will become imperceptible.

If we told you, however, that  there is a candle that never stops smelling  , would you believe us? We’re talking about the one that  ‘s defined as eternal  . You can make it at home with just a few ingredients.

Are you curious to know how to do it? So let’s get started right away. First you need  to get the lime  that you can find at the fruit shop or supermarket. With the help of a knife, cut at least four slices.

In a  jar  , which will then be the base for our candle (make sure it is strictly glass),  pour three tablespoons of coarse salt and four slices of lime inside.

Then add  enough water to cover the lime  and finish  with a handful of cloves  . Then, also a few  drops of lemon essential oil  or the fragrance of your choice (we recommend using citrus fragrances so that the pleasant smell persists as long as possible).

Finally,  pour in a heaping tablespoon of cooking oil  . Then take  a plastic cup  and use scissors  to cut out the base  . Using a screwdriver,  make a hole  in the center of the plastic.

Take the wick of a candle  that you are going to cut into pieces so that it remains whole and  pass it through the hole that you have made in the bottom of the glass  . Now place it in your glass jar, inside which you previously put  salt, lime, olive oil and drops of essential oil.

Done!  Your eternal candle is ready  . Try lighting it and you will see that the  pleasant fragrance will fill every room in your home  . With just a few simple ingredients, which you will also have in the pantry, you can make  the candle that never stops smelling.

This accessory is not only fashionable but also  useful for relaxing the body and mind  . Lime, for example, but also  drops of citrus essential oil  help to relax the brain. Perfect to light after a tiring and hectic day,  the candle that never stops smelling  will be of great use to you.
