Fragrance also available in:
- Trim the wick before each burn
Keep the wick trimmed to about ¼ inch to ensure a clean, even burn and a gentle crackle.
- Allow a full melt pool on the first burn
Let the wax melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling and maximize burn time.
- Burn for 2–4 hours at a time
This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents the candle from overheating.
- Place on a heat-safe, stable surface
Always burn your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from drafts.
- Keep away from flammable items
Avoid placing near curtains, bedding, books, or anything that could catch fire.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
Extinguish before leaving the room or going to sleep.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
For safety, place candles where little hands or curious paws can’t reach.
- Stop burning when ½ inch of wax remains
This prevents the jar from overheating and protects your surface.
- Extinguish gently
Use a candle snuffer or carefully blow out the flame to minimize smoke.
- Allow wax to cool before relighting or moving
Let the candle fully cool and reset between burns.
