The pour temperature for this palm wax may appear higher than the recommended temperature for adding fragrance. This may seem unusual, but it is actually necessary for achieving the desired effect. Palm wax requires a high pour temperature due to its chemical properties. However, for optimal fragrance retention, it is recommended to add fragrances at a lower temperature, typically around 70-75°C to prevent loss of top notes and potency.

Achieving a balance between competing ideals is a key factor to consider when working with palm wax. At temperatures above 85C, some top notes of fragrances may be lost if stored for extended periods of time. While each fragrance may vary, try experimenting by adding the fragrance at 75 degrees and gradually increasing the temperature before pouring at 90C. Testing is always the best way to develop expertise in making fragranced pillar candles with palm wax.
