Candle Burn Rate: Do Color & Scent Affect Burning Time?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that scented colored candles or white candles burn at different rates. The burn rate of a candle is primarily influenced by the type of wax used, the wick size and shape, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. The addition of fragrance or color to a candle typically does not affect its burn rate.
