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.
