Candle Care & Safety

Welcome to the world of luxury scents!

To ensure you get the most out of your lovely candles, while keeping a safe and enjoyable experience, we’ve compiled a list of useful care and safety tips. When you take good care of your candle, not only will it last longer, it will perform better to give you hours of magical atmosphere.

Candle Care Tips:

1. Trim the Wick: Cut the wick before each burn to around 1/4 inch. This serves to avoid unnecessary flickering and smoking, providing a clean, even burn.

2. First Burn Is Important: The first time you use your candle, let it burn for at least 2-3 hours until the wax melts all the way across the surface. This will avoid tuneling and create an even burn when the candle is being used.

3. Burn Time: Do not burn your candle longer than 4 hours at a time. This keeps the fragrance clean and will prevent the wick from mushrooming.

4. Keep It Clean: Make sure you regularly remove any of the wick trim, matches, or debris from the wax pool so they don’t create a potential for an uneven burn, burning the wick and sooting.

5. Storage: Candles should be stored in a cool, dry environment out of sunlight to prevent fading.

Candle Safety Tips:

1. Placement: Always put your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface. Store it away from flammable items, drafts, and vibrations.

2. Supervision: Always supervise the burning candle. Keep it away from children and pets.

3. Extinguishing: Snuff your candle using a snuffer or blow gently on the flame to put it out. Do not add water to hot wax, it will splatter.

4. Container Check: Make sure there is no crack or damage to the candle container before lighting the mechanism. Do not continue to use when 1/4 inch of wax is left to avoid overheating the container.

5. Multiple Candles: Place multiple candles at least 3 inches apart so they do not melt each other and so sufficient airflow can reach each one.

By following these simple steps, you’ll enjoy the maximum life and performance of your candles, all while creating a safe and cosy atmosphere. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Enjoy the warm glow and captivating scents with peace of mind!
