Scores of 2-3 on the Fragrance Scoring Scale™ are candles with a fragrance load between 1% and 3% and would also not qualify to be high quality scent in a candle or strong candles.

A Score of 4-5 on the Fragrance Scoring Scale™ can generally be detected at a 2'-5' radius in a room and is considered average strength for the common "scented candle market".  This score does not usually end up as a top selling candle.  

A Fragrance Score™ of 6 is where the best candles on the market start to register.  These fragrances can be detected completely throughout a room; however, they are naturally soft, so they tend to not overflow to other rooms.  These are particularly good fragrances for spaces such as sun rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms. 

Fragrances that score a 7, qualify as softer but do carry beyond the space of one room.  Spiced and herbal vanillas can score between a 6 and 7 and may come close to scoring as high as an 8.

A Score of 8 is a fragrance that not only fills a room but can be detected moving beyond one room.  For a floor without walls, a fragrance with this score can scent an entire floor.  These fragrances can be soft or powerful naturally but have been formulated to be substantially more powerful than an average fragrance of its type.

A 9 on the Fragrance Scoring Scale™ is where scoring starts to leave the realm of any average scented candle line.  A score of 9 and above is not easily found in the scented candle market.  These are fragrances that fill well beyond large rooms and can move through an entire home, depending on the fragrance type and the shape and size of the space.

A Score of 10, on the Fragrance Scoring Scale™ is the apex of performance in a candle fragrance. A 10 is at maximum fragrance potential, quality and fragrance load.  It will fill not just more than a room but can fill an entire building, depending on the size and design of the space.  These fragrances are recommended for very large spaces, hotel lobbies and office buildings, or just for the candle guru desiring ultimate fragrance strength.

When learning about your preferred candle, always consider Fragrance Scoring™, now that you're aware of what it means.  Regardless of the brand or whether or not they use a method to convey power of scent in the candle, you can simply pick up the phone or send a quick email to ask, on a scale from 1-10, which candle rates in the score level of what you prefer so each and every purchase will come just exactly and as perfectly as you expect.
