Process Paraffin wax, stearic acid etc. cut into small pieces and place them in kadhai like preferably double lacked vessel and apply gentle heat (direct flame or steam ) and when completely melted add the perfume just before putting in to the moulds. To spread good perfume in the atmosphere some perfumes like Jasmines, Mogra, Kewda, Rose etc. be added to the wax mixture, just before putting into the moulds. Then, this mixture pours into moulds which are in the mean time kept ready with little oil smeared from inside (to prevent sticking ) and the wick properly fixed in position. Place the moulds with wick and wax mixture in cold water to hasten the action of solidifying the wax which takes about an hour or two.
