Burn Like a Pro: Care and Longevity
First burn matters: Allow a full melt pool to the edges to prevent tunneling.
Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting for a steady flame and minimal soot.
Keep burns to 2–4 hours to preserve scent integrity and vessel safety.
Recenter the wick while wax is warm to ensure even future burns.
Store candles cool and shaded to protect the fragrance profile.
Gifting That Feels Personal
Thoughtful gifting is about intention. Choose fragrances that align with a recipient’s routine—bright and zesty for early risers, soft florals for self-care enthusiasts, and smoky woods for the contemplative. Seasonal pairings and discovery sets let them explore and find a signature scent.
FAQs
How do I choose the right candle for room size?
Small rooms thrive with lighter, citrus or herbal profiles; larger spaces benefit from richer woods, ambers, and spices. Consider vessel size—larger wax volume disperses fragrance more broadly.
Why does my candle tunnel?
Tunneling often comes from short first burns. Aim for an edge-to-edge melt pool on the first and second burns to set the candle’s memory correctly.
Are tins or glass better?
It depends on lifestyle. Candles in a Tin suit travel and compact spaces; glass or ceramic vessels elevate display and often support more complex scent delivery.
