Candle care
Burn well.
Six small habits that make your candle last longer, burn cleaner, and stay beautiful.
First burn
Let the entire top layer melt evenly — usually 2 to 3 hours. This prevents tunneling.
Trim the wick
Keep your wick at 5 mm (¼ inch). A longer wick means smoke and uneven burn.
Burn time
Never burn longer than 3–4 hours at a stretch. Let the wax rest and re-center.
Away from drafts
Drafts make flames flicker and tunnel. Find a still corner, away from curtains and airflow.
Extinguish gently
Use a snuffer or dip the wick — blowing can splatter wax. Never leave a candle unattended.
Reuse the vessel
Wash with warm soapy water. Our vessels make beautiful small planters or stash spots.
Candles without containers?
Pillar and sculptural candles must always burn on a heat-resistant holder or tray. Never on bare furniture.
