A free-standing fragrance candle comprises an outer shell, an inner core and a wick. The shell is formed of paraffin, a wax, a mixture thereof, or any of these materials in combination with fragrance oil. The shell has a melting point high enough that the shell stands freely and is not tacky at room temperature. The core is formed of fragrance oil and a carrier therefor. The fragrance oil in the core constitutes from 5% to 12% of the total weight of the core. The carrier is petrolatum, a low melting point wax, paraffin, or a mixture thereof. The core has a melting point substantially lower than the melting point of the shell and low enough to form a molten pool within the shell and to ensure a substantial release of fragrance into the surrounding atmosphere as the candle burns. The shell constitutes a container and provides structural support for the core.
