Little Rituals That Make a Difference
Lighting a candle isn’t just about setting the mood, it’s about setting the standard. A quiet kind of confidence.
To get the most from every flicker and let the fragrance truly work the room, a little candle care goes a long way.
From the first burn to the final flicker, here’s how to get the most out of your candle.
Trim with purpose
Step 1
Before every burn, trim your wick to 5mm using our wick trimmer.
Our wick trimmer includes a measured lip edge set at 5mm, making it effortless to get it right, every time.
Why trim your wick?
-
Prevents excess smoke and soot
-
Stops wick “mushrooming” before it starts
-
Keeps your glass pristine and your burn refined
The first burn sets the tone
Step 2
Think of it as your candle’s first impression. Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface:
-
Light all wicks
-
Burn for 1–2 hours on the first burn, allowing the wax to melt edge to edge of the candle vessel.
-
This sets the wax memory and prevents tunnelling.
After the first burn:
-
Keep burn time to a maximum of 3 hours. Let the candle cool completely between uses
Safety tips for an effortless burn
Step 3
A beautiful burn is a responsible one. A few non-negotiables:
-
Never leave a lit candle unattended
-
Keep away from pets, children, and flammable materials
-
Avoid placing in a draught, it disrupts the flame and the experience
Stop burning when 1cm of wax remains to prevent overheating or damage to the vessel.
How to store your candle
Step 4
Treat your candle like you would your favourite skincare or fragrance.
-
Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight
-
Always use the lid or our sleek cloches to ensure the fragrance doesn’t fade between burns.
How to reuse your candle vessel
Step 5
Finished burning? Your jar is just getting started.
Give it a second life:
-
A makeup brush holder
-
A mini plant home
-
A desk essential with main character energy
