When you light your candle for the first time, always allow the wax to burn so that it melts across the entire surface to the edges and pools to the edges of the jar. This may take up to 2-4 hours, but we promise it will make your candle last longer, assist in preventing tunnelling and help promote an even burn for the duration of the candle’s life.
Open windows and doors will disperse scent and lessen the concentration. For maximum fragrance keep windows and doors closed and burn in desired space for 30 mins before entering.
Yes. To get the most out of your candle, we recommend trimming your wick before every lighting. The wick only needs to be approximately 6mm in length, keeping it this length will avoid mushrooming which can result in unnecessary soot. This also controls the size of the flame allowing you to get the most time out of your candle.

It may seem obvious, but please keep your candle away from areas that can get quite hot in the home. You can store your candle in a cool and dry place, protected from dust. Avoid placing your candles where they will be directly exposed to sunlight or harsh indoor lighting, such as a spotlights.
Efficient burning means flame is not flickering, teardrop shaped and upright. Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. These signs indicate the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn’t controlled. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, then check for drafts before re-lighting.

It is really important candles are not burnt when there is 10mm of wax or less remaining in the jar. Although it is tempting to continue burning your candle until the wax is gone, we strongly advise against this as the flame needs a solid base of wax to avoid overheating the jar.
