Candle Care

The Art of a Beautiful Burn

Your candle is designed to bring warmth, fragrance, and a moment of serenity into your space. Proper candle care helps you enjoy your fragrance experience while supporting safe and consistent burning.

Follow these guidelines every time you light your candle.

✦ BEFORE EACH BURN

Trim Your Wick

  • Trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch before each use.
  • Remove wick trimmings and any debris from the wax surface.
  • A properly trimmed wick helps reduce excessive flame height, soot, and uneven burning. 

Prepare Your Space

  • Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep it away from curtains, bedding, paper, and other flammable materials.
  • Avoid drafts, fans, open windows, and air vents.
  • Keep candles out of reach of children and pets. 

✦ DURING YOUR BURN

Allow the Wax to Melt Evenly

  • During the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the surface as appropriate for your candle’s size and manufacturer-tested instructions.
  • Avoid consistently burning for short periods that leave an unmelted ring around the container.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, unless your tested product instructions specify a shorter limit.
  • Never move a candle while the wax is liquid. 

A Note on Your Wood Wick
If your candle features a wood wick, a gentle crackling sound may be part of the intended experience. Keep the wick trimmed according to your candle’s specific care instructions.

✦ EXTINGUISHING YOUR CANDLE

  • Use a candle snuffer when possible.
  • Never use water to extinguish a candle. Water can cause hot wax to splatter and may damage or break a hot glass container.
  • Ensure the flame is completely extinguished and the wick is no longer glowing.
  • Allow the candle to cool completely before touching or moving it. 

✦ WHEN TO RETIRE YOUR CANDLE

Discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains.

Do not burn a container candle all the way to the bottom. Following this guidance helps reduce the risk associated with overheating the container. 

✦ STORAGE & CARE

When not in use:

  • Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the lid on when available to help protect the candle from dust and debris.
  • Allow the wax to cool completely before handling.
