Abstract

The present invention includes a tin can sulfur based scented candle and method of making same. This combination provides immediate odor masking of pungent and noxious smells, such as, but not limited to, bathroom odors, fish odor, cigarettes, locker room odors, pet odors and diaper odors. This desirable odor of sulfur is sufficiently strong to continuously mask strong noxious odors on an ongoing basis for up to 20 hours per candle. Hence, consumers have expressed a desire for increased fragrance longevity, both before and after burning, and increased fragrance intensity during burning of these sulfur based candies. The incorporation of sulfur based oil in candle wax is often difficult to achieve in a quantity that ensures the release of a suitable level of sulfur into the atmosphere during candle burning. The incorporated chemical, non volatile sulfur fragrance tends to volatize during the candle manufacturing process but does not volatize from the finished candle during long storage periods. Incorporation of larger quantities of sulfur and/or sulfur molecules of a relatively large portion may tend to soften candle waxes, resulting in an undesirable loss of rigidity in the candle structure. Therefore, the sulfur based candle is enclosed in a tin container, with a flameproof top, which can be used to snuff the flame out after usage.
