Candle Care & Burning Guide
Maximize scent throw, achieve an immaculate clean burn, and preserve the sculptural beauty of your hand-poured creations.
Following these foundational practices ensures a soot-free burn, rich scent diffusion, and maximum burn life.
The Memory Burn
On your first burn, allow the melted wax pool to reach the complete outer edges of the vessel (approx. 2–3 hours). Natural soy wax has a 'memory'—this prevents tunneling and ensures a flat, even melt surface for all future lightings.
Trim Wick to 1/4 Inch
Always trim your cotton or wooden wick to 1/4" (6mm) prior to each burn. Trimming prevents mushrooming wicks, removes charred buildup, eliminates black soot, and keeps the flame burning calmly at the ideal temperature.
Burn 3–4 Hours Max
Never burn a candle for more than 4 continuous hours. Extended burning causes the vessel and wax to overheat, which degrades precious fine fragrance oils and accelerates burn consumption. Allow the wax to fully reset before relighting.
Extinguish with Grace
Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick tip into the liquid wax and straighten immediately with a wick dipper. Avoid blowing directly into the molten pool to eliminate smoke, preserve fragrance atmosphere, and keep the wick centered.
Caring for Sculptural & Shaped Décor Candles
Our sculptural candles are individually cast artisan objects crafted to be just as captivating displayed unlit as an ornament as they are when glowing.
