While almond extract has a pleasant aroma, it is not typically used in candle-making due to its high alcohol content. Most commercial almond extracts contain 35-40% alcohol, which can be highly flammable when ignited as part of a candle wick. The use of high-alcohol content extracts like almond extract may increase the risk of fire hazard when incorporated into candles. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using almond extract specifically designed for culinary purposes in candle-making projects.
