Candle Care

THE ART OF THE PERFECT GLOW

A little care goes a long way…

Our candles are handcrafted with care, and we want you to enjoy every beautiful moment of their glow. A few simple practices will help you get the best fragrance experience, a cleaner burn, and a longer life from your candle.

✧ FIRST BURN MATTERS

Allow your candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface, creating a full melt pool. This can take up to 3–4 hours. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures you get the most out of your candle.

✧ TRIM YOUR WICK

Before each burn, trim your wick to approximately ¼ inch. A properly trimmed wick helps maintain an even flame, minimizes soot, and encourages a cleaner burn.

✧ A LITTLE EXTRA CARE

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Avoid moving your candle while the wax is hot or melted. Discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.

✧ BURN TIME

For the best experience, burn your candle for 2–4 hours at a time. Never exceed 4 hours in a single session. Allow the wax to cool and fully solidify before relighting.

✧ FIND THE PERFECT SPOT

Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, open windows, vents, pets, and children. Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings and other debris.

✧ LET THE FRAGRANCE FLOW

For the best fragrance experience, place your candle in an area where its scent can circulate naturally. Larger rooms and vaulted ceilings may require a little more time for fragrance to disperse.
