Info about the oils is what I'm really curious about! I have to admit I'm not a big fan of vanilla so knowing what else I could use will be useful.

By this point your wax should be cool enough to add the fragrance to. You will be
adding roughly ¼ cup of fragrance oil or essential oil. For my candles, I have
chosen a combination of French Vanilla and Patchouli oils. These combine to
create a dark vanilla scent similar to that of the JJ Dark Vanilla candles. (I
prefer to work with a plain vanilla oil, but this is what I had the most of.) Add
the oil directly to your wax mixture and stir.
(If you have chosen to add essential oils, it is important to ensure that they
are non-irritating, or are diluted enough to use on skin safely. Some of the
oils I use are possible skin irritants, in which case, I mix them in low quantity
with non-irritating oils, and use slightly less than is called for, or combine
with a small amount of carrier oil such as almond or jojoba. I do have
information on many different essential oils, I will include info on some
commonly used essential oils, as well as butters, carrier oils and exfoliants at
the end of my workshop.) less
