Candlemaking is much more of an art than a science especially with natural waxes. Try and keep records of temperatures both of wax and environment . Try and be consistent in the temperatures you pour wax and fragrances at. If you want to try something new do keep a note so you can replicate it. Most of all enjoy it as candle making can be enormously rewarding
