Full details
The Paddywax Bistro Cappuccino Scented Candle is designed for home fragrance enthusiasts who value both olfactory atmosphere and sustainable design. It brings the comforting, gourmand aroma of a Parisian café into your living space through a sophisticated blend of coffee bean, caramel, and vanilla notes. While it offers a premium aesthetic and a versatile repurposed vessel, it is important to note that the gourmand fragrance profile may be too sweet for those who prefer fresh or floral scents.

FAQs
Is the vessel really food-safe?
Yes, the ceramic vessel is designed to be food-safe, making it perfectly suitable for use as a mug or oil pourer after cleaning.
How long will this candle burn?
Burn times vary based on environmental factors, but the high-quality soy wax blend is formulated for a long, consistent burn.
Can I use the vessel in the dishwasher?
While the ceramic is food-safe, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the hand-painted exterior details.
What should I do if the wick moves to the side?
While the wax is slightly soft after burning, you can gently nudge the wick back to the center using a wick dipper or heat-safe tool.
Is the fragrance overwhelming?
The candle is designed to provide a rich scent profile; if you find it too strong in smaller spaces, try burning it in a larger room with better airflow.
What is the primary scent category?
This candle falls into the 'gourmand' category, meaning it features edible-inspired notes like coffee, cocoa, caramel, and vanilla.
Troubleshooting
The candle is producing soot or black smoke.
The wick is likely too long; extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, trim the wick to 1/4 inch, and relight.
The wax is tunneling (burning only in the center).
Ensure the candle burns long enough for the melted wax to reach the edge of the vessel, usually 2-3 hours during the first burn.
Difficulty removing wax residue for repurposing.
Place the vessel in the freezer for one hour; the hardened wax should pop out easily with a gentle tap or use of a butter knife.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Paddywax candle, always trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch before every lighting session. This prevents excess smoke and ensures the wax pool remains clean. When repurposing the vessel, place it in warm, soapy water to soften any remaining soy wax residue, then gently wipe clean. As the vessel is food-safe, it is safe to use for hot or cold beverages once thoroughly washed. Avoid using metal utensils to scrape the interior, as this may damage the ceramic finish. Keep the candle away from direct sunlight or high-heat areas when not in use to prevent the wax from softening or losing its fragrance potency.
