Our candles are hand-poured in Australia using a natural soy wax blend. To enjoy the best fragrance performance and ensure safe burning, please follow the care instructions below.

First Burn Matters

The first burn sets the memory of your candle. Allow it to burn for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the entire top surface has melted evenly to the edges of the jar. This helps prevent tunnelling, where wax builds up around the sides and shortens the life of your candle. An even melt pool during the first burn ensures a longer, cleaner burn in future use.

Trim the Wick

Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 5mm. A properly trimmed wick helps maintain a steady, controlled flame and reduces excessive smoke or soot. A wick that is too long may cause a large flame, black marks inside the jar, or uneven burning.

Burn Time

Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Extended burning can cause the jar to overheat and may affect the fragrance performance. After extinguishing, allow the candle to cool completely before relighting. This helps maintain the integrity of the wax and wick.

Safe Placement

Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep away from drafts, open windows, air conditioners, fans, curtains, and any flammable materials. Drafts may cause uneven burning, flickering flames, or soot formation.

Never Leave Unattended

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the candle before leaving the room or going to sleep. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets at all times.

When to Stop Burning

Discontinue use when approximately 1cm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. Burning a candle too low may cause the container to overheat or crack.

Storage

Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Exposure to heat may cause sweating or softening of the wax and can affect fragrance quality.

Extinguishing Your Candle

Use a candle snuffer where possible to minimise smoke. Avoid blowing directly into the wax, as this may cause splattering.

General Reminder

Always follow basic fire safety precautions when using candles. Proper care ensures a cleaner burn, stronger scent throw, and a longer-lasting candle.
