Abstract

A scented candle includes at least two different wax materials with one of the materials having one melting point and at least one of the other wax materials having a second higher melting point. The wax having the higher melting point may include a malodor control agent or odor abatement substance or alternatively a fragrance that is different than the fragrance in the other wax materials in the candle. The second fragrance may also be at a much higher concentration than the fragrances in the other wax materials contained in the candle.
