There seems to be no single "authoritative" history of candles that I can find so I will go with what I "know". Depending on the source, candles were first developed in either China or Egypt about 4000 years ago although the Romans are generally credited with making the first truely wicked candles. These first candles were made from tallow, a by-product of rendering animal fat. As a result they smoked badly and smelled even worse.

I like the idea of blending 2 scents in the same candle. This makes for some really creative combinations.
