FAQs
What makes soy wax a better choice?
Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource derived from soybeans. It burns cleaner and slower than paraffin wax, producing significantly less soot, which contributes to better indoor air quality.
How long will this candle typically burn?
This 170g candle is designed to provide up to 40 hours of burn time when cared for properly, including wick trimming and avoiding drafty conditions.
Can I reuse the amber glass vessel?
Yes, once the candle has completely burned down, you can carefully clean the vessel with warm, soapy water. It can then be repurposed for storage, as a small planter, or for other decorative uses.
Is the scent profile suitable for all preferences?
The fragrance is a blend of woody, amber, and herbal notes, aiming for an exotic and calming effect. While designed to be sophisticated, personal scent preferences vary, so it's recommended to consider this if you are sensitive to specific fragrance types.
Where are these candles made?
These candles are handcrafted and hand-poured in the UK, using sustainably sourced soy wax.
What should I do if the candle isn't burning evenly?
Ensure the wick is centered and trimmed to 1/4 inch. For the first burn, let the wax melt to the edges of the glass. Avoid placing the candle in a draft, which can cause uneven burning.
Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (wax only burns down the center)
Ensure the candle burns long enough on the first use for the wax pool to reach the edges of the container. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each subsequent burn.
Excessive smoke or flickering flame
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area.
Weak fragrance scent
Ensure the wick is trimmed and the room is not excessively large or drafty. Allow the candle to burn for at least an hour to release fragrance.
Glass vessel is hot to the touch
This is normal, but always handle with care. Do not move the candle while lit. Ensure it is on a heat-resistant surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience and longevity from your Grüum lÿs Soy Wax Candle, follow these simple guidelines:
- First Burn: For the initial lighting, allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edge of the glass. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle.
- Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm). This helps prevent excessive smoking and ensures a steady flame.
- Burn Time: Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating of the vessel.
- Placement: Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the wax pool to extinguish the flame. Do not blow out the candle.
- Cleaning the Vessel: Once the candle is finished, the amber glass vessel can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and reused for storage or as a decorative item.
