Its key benefit is creating a serene atmosphere with a blend of musk, black ebony, and amber, complemented by fresh violet leaves, cardamom, and a cedarwood base.

Troubleshooting
Candle is not producing much scent.
Ensure the wick is trimmed to about 1/4 inch. Allow the candle to burn for at least 2-3 hours on the first use to establish a full melt pool. Check that the candle is not placed in a drafty area, which can disperse the scent too quickly.
Uneven burning (tunneling).
On the first burn, let the candle melt all the way to the edges of the tin. For subsequent burns, ensure the wick is centered and trimmed. If tunneling has already occurred, you can try gently scraping away excess wax from the sides and remelting.
Sooting or black smoke.
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use. Ensure the candle is not in a draft. If excessive soot builds up, extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick. Clean the inside of the tin if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience and longevity from your Rathbornes 1488 Dublin Retreat Scented Tin Candle:
- Preparation: Before lighting, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). This helps ensure an even burn and prevents excessive smoking.
- First Burn: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges of the tin (usually 2-3 hours). This prevents tunneling and maximizes the fragrance throw.
- Safety: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, curtains, and other flammable materials.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using the lid to extinguish the flame as this can release soot.
- Care: Once the candle has cooled, if any soot has accumulated on the wick, trim it again before relighting. Clean the exterior of the tin with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed. Do not attempt to use if the glass (if applicable, though this is a tin) or tin is cracked or damaged.
