Candles & Scents? Adding scent ?

I use warmers for my candles rather then using a lit wick. Most of the wax remains when the scent is long gone. Any ideas on what I could add safely to the wax to add scent. I know a candle shop or craft shop has those things but I mean any household items such as vanilla or lemon extract(for cooking) anything? Keep in mind, I use a warmer I don’t burn them..

guy you can not stick your wick into my hot wax, sorry..

    vanilla extract would work, lemon extract maybe I’m not sure b/c its a little thicker. You can add anything natural that’s around your home, like lemon or lime juice, just put a tablespoon (or less depending on how much wax is left in your warmer) in with the wax. I would recommend getting the scented oils though. Turn on your warmers and let the wax melt, then add your fragrance and stir it with a toothpick.
