HT stands for hot throw and CT stands for cold throw in candle making terminology. These terms are commonly used to describe the strength of fragrance when determining how well a scented candle releases its aroma when burned (hot throw) or unlit (cold throw). Hot throw refers to how well a candle releases scent while burning, filling the room with fragrance. Cold throw refers to how strong the scent is when sniffing an unlit candle or simply having it sit in a room without being lit. Both HT and CT play crucial roles when selecting or formulating fragrances for candles as they affect customer satisfaction and overall aromatic experience. Candle makers often strive for optimum balance in HT and CT to ensure an enticing scent profile throughout the lifespan of their candles.
