Candle Care
To get the most from your candle—both in fragrance and longevity—a little care goes a long way.
First Burn Matters
The first burn sets the foundation for how your candle performs.
Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar (approximately 2–3 hours). This creates an even burn and prevents tunnelling—where wax builds up along the sides and reduces both scent throw and burn time.
Burn Time
For best results, burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time.
Burning longer can cause the wick to become too long, creating excess heat, smoke, and reducing the life of your candle.
Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to approximately 4mm.
This helps to:
- Extend the life of your candle
- Reduce smoke and soot
- Prevent “mushrooming” of the wick
- Maintain a clean, even flame
Placement Matters
Keep your candle away from drafts such as open windows, air conditioning, or fans. This ensures an even burn and prevents flickering or uneven melting.
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep it away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
When to Stop Burning
Discontinue use when approximately 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.
Burning beyond this point can cause the glass to overheat and may lead to cracking.
A Better Experience, Every Time
With the right care, your candle will burn more evenly, last longer, and deliver a consistent fragrance from first light to final glow.
