Abstract
The invention provides a scented gel candle which is flash proof and provides a greater scent. The candle consists of a container having a candle body of a triblock copolymer and hydrocarbon oil having a high flash point. A wick is located in the candle body and is preferably of an unwaxed diameter of about 3/64 to 5/64 inch. The use of the combination of an appropriately sized wick and the high flash hydrocarbon oil provides a safe candle with a satisfactory release of a scent.
