FAQs
What is the fragrance profile of this candle?
This candle features a spicy, sweet, and gourmet fragrance with distinct notes of peppermint.
What material is the candle made from?
The candle is made with soy wax.
How long should I burn the candle each time?
For optimal performance, do not leave the candle to burn for more than four hours at a time.
How do I prepare the candle for its first use?
On the first burn, allow the candle to burn until the entire surface of the wax has melted across the top to prevent tunneling. This usually takes 2-4 hours.
What should I do with the ceramic vessel after the candle is finished?
The hand-crafted ceramic vessel is designed to be a stylish home accessory and can be reused for decoration, storage, or even as a planter.
Is the peppermint scent very strong?
The fragrance is described as spicy, sweet, and gourmet with peppermint notes. Scent strength can vary based on room size and ventilation, but it is intended to be noticeable.
Does this candle come assembled and ready to use?
Yes, the candle comes ready to be placed on a suitable surface and lit, provided the wick is trimmed as recommended.
Troubleshooting
Tunneling (wax melting only in the center)
Ensure the candle burns long enough on the first use for the wax pool to reach the edges of the vessel. Trim the wick before subsequent uses.
Weak scent throw
Ensure the wick is trimmed properly. Check that the candle is not placed near strong drafts, which can dissipate the scent quickly. Allow the wax pool to form completely.
Sooting or black smoke
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) before each burn. Ensure the candle is not burning in a drafty area.
Wick is difficult to light or stays lit unevenly
Ensure the wick is not damaged or embedded too deeply in the wax. Trim any frayed or excess wick.

Care:
