Burn-care for a cleaner flame and longer life
First burn: Let wax melt to the edge to avoid tunneling.
Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each relight.
Keep candles away from drafts to prevent sooting and uneven burn.
Stop when 10–12 mm of wax remains to protect the vessel.

Match personality with profile: adventurous recipients may love smoky resins; minimalists often prefer airy linen or citrus; host gifts shine with curated Candle Gift Sets that offer discovery.
FAQs
How long should a standard candle burn per session?
Generally 2–4 hours. This allows a full melt pool without overheating the vessel.
Are tins and glass vessels reusable?
Yes. Once fully cooled, remove residual wax and wick tabs. Tins are great for small storage; glass can hold brushes or buds.
What affects scent strength?
Room size, air flow, wax type, fragrance load, and wick size. For large rooms, burn two smaller candles placed apart for even diffusion.
How can I avoid soot?
Trim the wick, avoid drafts, and extinguish with a snuffer or by dipping the wick into melted wax and straightening it.
Whether you’re curating a calm corner, packing Candles in a Tin for travel, or indulging in Luxury Scented Candle’s for special evenings, a thoughtful candle elevates the everyday with light, texture, and scent.
