The candle is just made of a flammable wick surrounded by a medium that enables for a longer burning period than if the wick were made to consume by itself. Animal grease, also named tallow, was used at one time for candle type burning lights because tallow was generally accessible although in time beeswax came to be used in the manufacture of candles. With beeswax, there was less smoke than tallow, which produced a heavy odor and black smoke, and beeswax provided a much sweeter perfume.
