  • What should I keep in mind when lighting the candle for the first time?

    Always burn your candle for at least 3-4 hours to allow the melt pool to reach all edges of the candle. This avoids a ‘tunnel’ effect running down the center of your candle.

  • What should I do after each candle burn?

    After each burn, gently remove any small "flower-like" carbon buildup at the tip of the wick (a natural occurrence with plant-based waxes) instead of trimming the wick length. Avoid blowing out the candle, as this disrupts the fragrance and creates excess smoke. Instead, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame—this gently coats the wick in wax for easier relighting. Our natural wax formula burns cooler than synthetic alternatives, ensuring the wick self-regulates to prevent oversized flames or heavy smoke. By following these steps, you’ll preserve the candle’s clean burn and maintain its delicate scent diffusion.

  • What precautions should I take while burning a candle?

    Avoid placing your candle in a draughty area whilst lit. Don’t burn for longer than 4-5 hours at a time; this could cause the glass to get hot. A common mistake is windowsills and open windows. This will cause the flame to consume the wax at a faster rate, meaning your candle won’t burn for as long as intended.
