Abstract

The present invention is directed to pourable fragrance-carrier compositions, and methods of preparation thereof, for use in tart candles, wherein the fragrance-carrier composition is comprised of a liquid base material of a hydrogenated polyolefin and a fragrance. The fragrance-carrier composition may be poured into the reservoir of a tart candle from which the fragrance is caused to be dispersed by the heat from a flame. More specifically, the liquid base material is comprised of a hydrogenated polyisoalkene such as hydrogenated polyisobutene.
