Candle Care Guide

Allow your candle to burn until the entire top layer of wax has melted to the edges on the first use. This prevents "tunneling" — where the candle burns straight down the center, wasting wax and fragrance. First burns typically take 2–4 hours depending on candle size.

Before each burn, trim your wick to ¼ inch (about 6mm). A long wick causes excessive flickering, black soot, and uneven burning. Use a wick trimmer, nail clippers, or scissors. Remove any wick debris from the wax pool.

Never burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a time. After 4 hours, extinguish the flame, let the wax cool and solidify, trim the wick, and then relight. Extended burns can cause the wick to move, the glass to overheat, and the fragrance to diminish.

Burn your candle away from drafts, vents, fans, and open windows. Moving air causes uneven burning, excessive flickering, and soot. Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.

Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool and straighten it back up. Avoid blowing out candles — this can cause the wick to move off-center and send smoke into the air. Never use water to extinguish.

Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom. Burning below this level can cause the glass to overheat. The remaining wax can be melted in a wax warmer to continue enjoying the fragrance.
