FAQs
How long should I burn the candle for the first time?
You should burn the candle until the top layer of wax is completely melted to the glass edge, usually taking about 2 to 3 hours.
Can I reuse the glass vessel?
Yes, once the candle is finished and cleaned, the glass container can be repurposed as a decorative holder for small items like makeup brushes or office supplies.
What should I do if the wick shifts?
While the wax is still slightly soft after extinguishing, you can gently center the wick using a wick dipper or heat-safe tool.
How do I store the candle?
Keep it in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent the fragrance oils from degrading due to heat or light exposure.
Is the scent overpowering?
Most users find the Pomander scent to be well-balanced and sophisticated, providing a gentle ambiance rather than an overwhelming fragrance.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax is not melting to the edges).
Ensure the first burn lasts long enough for the entire surface to liquefy. If tunneling persists, use a foil ring around the top to reflect heat back to the edges.
Excessive smoke or soot.
Your wick is likely too long. Extinguish the flame, allow it to cool, trim the wick to 5mm, and remove any debris from the wax pool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pomander candle, trim the wick to approximately 5mm before every use to prevent soot and ensure an even burn. Place the candle on a heat-resistant, level surface away from drafts, curtains, or other flammable objects. Do not burn the candle for more than three to four hours at a time. Once finished, ensure the flame is fully extinguished using a snuffer rather than blowing it out to prevent smoke. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the wax and fragrance oils.
