About the Author
Review Beautifully illustrated and clearly presented, this book is perfect for readers who want to recreate the magic of their favorite candles for a fraction of the cost, for vegans concerned about the ethics of ingredients in store-bought votives, or for scent-sensitive readers who can't ever find just the right balance of earthy, floral, spicy, and sensual notes in store-bought candles.-- "Library Journal"Reposeur's book lays out all of the basics for customizing homemade vegan candles that are more affordable than store-bought ones. There's an overview of appropriate supplies and equipment, safety considerations, and techniques, and Reposeur delineates the pros and cons of different options for materials such as fragrances and oils. Readers can choose from a variety of themed candles with a range of scent profiles, colors, and design options. There are tips to tweak or modify the book's templates, but some readers may want to work through the book's featured candles before exploring variations so that they understand the nuances of balancing different oils or fragrances. Reposeur has tagged candles according to the effects they have (calming, energizing, and more) and named them in ways that might inspire days of reading and baths or ignite a desire for adventure and escape. VERDICT Beautifully illustrated and clearly presented, this book is perfect for readers who want to recreate the magic of their favorite candles for a fraction of the cost, for vegans concerned about the ethics of ingredients in store-bought votives, or for scent-sensitive readers who can't ever find just the right balance of earthy, floral, spicy, and sensual notes in store-bought candles.-- "Library Journal"
