FAQs
What is the primary scent profile of Roanoke Ivy?
Roanoke Ivy features a complex scent profile combining earthy ivy, luscious fruits (like rhubarb and berries), soft floral notes, and gentle woods, creating an enchanting and fresh yet deep aroma.
How long does the fragrance typically last?
The fragrance is designed to be long-lasting, effectively filling medium to large rooms. Actual burn time depends on environmental factors and adherence to care instructions.
Is this candle suitable for small spaces?
Due to its potent fragrance, it is best suited for medium to large rooms. In very small spaces, it may be perceived as too strong. Consider burning it for shorter periods or ensuring good ventilation.
How should I care for the candle to ensure the best experience?
Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use, allow the first burn to melt the wax to the container's edge, and avoid drafts. Store in a cool, dark place when not in use.
What does 'lost garden' and 'night sky' refer to in the description?
These phrases are evocative descriptions intended to convey the candle's atmosphere and scent journey, suggesting a mysterious, enchanting, and natural setting that unfolds as the fragrance develops.
Can I use this candle if I am sensitive to strong scents?
While the fragrance is complex and layered, it is quite potent. If you are highly sensitive to strong or complex scents, it may be best to test it in a well-ventilated area or consider a lighter fragrance option.
What materials are used in this candle?
The product information provided focuses on the scent profile and description. For specific details on wax type, wick material, or container, please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's detailed specifications.
Troubleshooting
Candle is not burning evenly (tunneling)
Ensure the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch before each burn. For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the container to set a burn memory.
Excessive smoke or a large flame
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. If excessive smoke persists, extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, remove any debris, and re-trim the wick.
Fragrance seems weak
Ensure the candle has burned long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges on the first burn. Check that the room is not excessively large or drafty. Ensure the candle is not too old, as fragrance can diminish over time.
Soot build-up on the container
Trim the wick regularly to 1/4 inch and avoid drafts. If soot appears, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, and carefully wipe the inside of the container with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

- Wicking: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each subsequent burn. Remove any debris from the wax pool.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish the flame. Avoid blowing out the candle.

- Safety: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
