To ensure it burns beautifully and safely, here are some simple tips to care for it:
1. Trim the wick before each burn
Before lighting, snip the wick to about 0.6 cm (1/4 inch). This helps prevent soot and keeps the flame steady, allowing you to enjoy a clean burn and a brighter glow.
2. First burn is key
When lighting your candle for the first time, let it melt evenly across the surface—ideally for 2-4 hours. This prevents tunneling and ensures you get the most out of your candle, maximizing both scent and burn time.
3. Keep it in a draft-free spot
Place your candle away from drafts, fans, and open windows. A steady flame means a more consistent scent experience, so you won’t miss out on that delightful aroma filling your space!
4. Use a candle snuffer
To extinguish your candle, consider using a candle snuffer instead of blowing it out. This minimizes wax splashes and smoky scents, and helpspreserve the wick and fragrance.
5. Keep it clean and store smart
Dust your candles regularly with a soft cloth to keep them looking fresh and inviting. A clean candle not only enhances its appearance but also ensures the best burn quality. When you’re not burning your candles, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the wax and the fragrance oils, keeping them intact for your next lighting.
6. Enjoy, but be careful with overdoing it
As with any beautiful, high-quality product, it's tempting to light your candle for hours on end. However, for the best results, we recommend burning your candle in 3-4 hour sessions at a time. This allows the wax to melt evenly while keeping the scent fresh and vibrant.
