FAQs
How long will the 190g candle burn?
With proper maintenance and wick trimming, this candle typically offers a burn time of approximately 60 hours.
Can I use the glass vessel after the candle is finished?
Yes, once cleaned of residual wax, the high-quality glass vessel can be repurposed as a decorative container or stationery holder.
Is the scent considered 'woody' or 'floral'?
The Oud Classic Candle is distinctly woody and smoky, characterized by the deep, resinous scent of agarwood.
Does the gold-toned glass require special cleaning?
Wipe the glass with a soft, dry lint-free cloth to maintain its shine and remove fingerprints.
Why is it important to trim the wick?
Trimming the wick prevents the flame from becoming too large, which reduces smoking and ensures a cleaner, longer-lasting burn.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax is not melting to the edges).
On the next burn, ensure the candle remains lit until the melt pool reaches the entire diameter of the glass.
Excessive smoke or soot.
Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting and ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area.
The flame is too high or flickering.
Extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, trim the wick, and remove any debris from the wax pool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your candle, always trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each lighting; this prevents excessive smoke and soot accumulation. Place the candle on a heat-resistant, level surface away from drafts, which can cause uneven burning or smoke. Do not burn the candle for more than three to four hours at a time to maintain the integrity of the wax and glass. When not in use, keep the candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the scent profile and wax quality.
