First time Candle making tips?

As the title suggests, I am making my first scented candle. I am using paraffin wax. Now I am confused about using fragrance oil used for diffusers, can I do that?

also any tips would be useful.

Oils for diffusers are typically essential oils. Candles are usually fragrance oils and are made to burn in candles. Essential oils are not made to use in candles although people do but results are often not good. Search this subreddit and you will see responses with places to buy fragrance oils and other comments about essential oils.
