Troubleshooting

Candle is not burning evenly (tunneling)

Ensure the candle burns long enough on the first use for the wax pool to reach the edges. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before subsequent uses.

Excessive smoke or flickering flame

Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area.

Weak fragrance throw

Ensure the room is not excessively large or drafty. Trim the wick to the recommended length. Allow the wax to melt fully to release the scent.

Candle wax appears discolored

This can sometimes happen with natural waxes exposed to light. Store the candle in its tin or away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Remove the candle from its decorative tin packaging.
Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and children or pets.
Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) before the first use to ensure an even burn.

Compatibility:

Suitable for use in most indoor environments like living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices.
Can also be used outdoors on patios or decks, provided conditions are calm.

Care:

First Burn: Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts evenly across the entire surface to prevent tunneling (typically 2-3 hours).
Wick Maintenance: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) before each use. This prevents excessive smoking and ensures a steady flame.
Burn Time: Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool and straighten it. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance and wax quality.
