Abstract:
1. A candle formed of a wax composition, said wax composition comprising: (a) a low molecular weight ethylene vinyl acetate, having a molecular weight of at most about 5000 molecular weight units; (b) a high molecular weight alcohol, having about 18 to about 22 carbons; (c) at least one odorant; and (d) a paraffin wax having the formula C wherein the combination of said low molecular weight ethylene vinyl acetate, said high molecular weight alcohol, and said wax operate to substantially retain the at least one odorant in said candle when said wax composition is exposed to temperatures below a melting point of said wax composition, and to emit said at least one odorant from said candle when said wax composition is exposed to temperatures at or above the melting point of said wax composition, and wherein said composition contains substantially no microwax.
