🕯️ Products (Candles) & care

How do I make my candle last longer?

  • Trim the wick to 5 mm before each burn.
  • First burn: let the wax melt edge to edge (2–3 hrs) to avoid tunneling.
  • Max 4 hrs per session.
  • Place on a stable, heat‑safe surface away from drafts, kids and pets. Never leave unattended.
  • Stop burning when ~1 cm of wax remains.

Is the scent very strong?
Scent throw depends on room size and ventilation. For larger spaces, we suggest lighting the candle at least 1 hour before.
