FAQs
What are the main scent notes in the Sichuan candle?
The Sichuan candle features notes of champak, benzoin, balmy resins, fruit, Earl Grey tea, woods, lemon, and pepper.
How long does the candle typically burn?
The candle has an approximate burn time of 65 hours.
Is the vessel reusable?
Yes, the iron vessel comes with a removable lid and can be cleaned and repurposed after the candle has been fully burned.
Where is the candle made?
The candle is poured and shaped by hand in the South of France and is made in France.
What is the wax made of?
The candle is made with natural wax.
How should I care for the wick?
Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6mm) before each lighting to ensure a clean and efficient burn.
Can I expect variations in the product?
As the candles are poured and shaped by hand, slight variations in appearance are part of their unique artisanal charm.
Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (wax melts only in the center)
Ensure the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch before each burn. For the first burn, allow the wax to melt to the edges of the vessel to create a full melt pool.
Weak scent throw
Check that the wick is trimmed and that the candle is burning in a space without strong drafts. Ensure the room is not excessively large. Allow the candle to burn for at least 1-2 hours for the scent to fully develop.
Sooting or black smoke
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area. Avoid burning the candle for excessively long periods (over 4 hours).
Uneven burn
Trim the wick regularly. If the vessel is slightly uneven, gently nudge the wick to the center after extinguishing the flame and before the wax hardens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Mad & Len Sichuan Candle is straightforward. Upon receiving the candle:
- Remove Lid: Carefully remove the lid from the iron vessel.
- Trim Wick: Before the first lighting, trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) to ensure a clean and even burn.
- Place on Stable Surface: Position the candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
- First Burn: For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the vessel (a full melt pool). This prevents tunneling and ensures maximum fragrance release.
Care Instructions:
- Wick Maintenance: Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use.
- Burn Time: Avoid burning the candle for more than 3-4 hours at a time to prevent overheating.
- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax to extinguish the flame. Never blow out a candle.
- Cleaning Vessel: Once the candle is finished, the iron vessel can be cleaned with soap and water and repurposed.
- Storage: Store the candle with the lid on in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance.
