What material are the candles made from?

Are these candles suitable for sensitive individuals?

Soy wax candles generally produce fewer toxins and soot than paraffin candles. The fragrances are described as gentle, which may be suitable for some sensitive individuals, but individual reactions can vary.

The candles are proudly made in the UK.

Do the candles come in gift packaging?

Yes, the duo comes in beautiful gift bags featuring two themed titled candles, making them ready for gifting.

Can I burn both candles at the same time?

While you can burn both simultaneously, it is recommended to burn them in separate, appropriate locations to best experience each unique fragrance and to ensure safety.

Troubleshooting

Candle is not burning evenly (tunneling)

Ensure the first burn lasts until the wax melts to the edges. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before subsequent burns. Avoid moving the candle while burning.

Weak fragrance throw

Ensure the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch. Allow the candle to burn for at least 2 hours on the first burn to establish a full melt pool. Check that the room is not excessively drafty.

Excessive smoke or flickering flame

Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area. Check for any debris in the wax pool.

Wax appears uneven or has crystals

This is a natural characteristic of soy wax and does not affect the burn quality or scent. It may occur due to temperature fluctuations during shipping or storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a deeply sentimental and personalized gift option.
  • High-quality soy wax ensures a clean and long-lasting burn.
  • Subtle, sophisticated fragrances suitable for most preferences.
  • Provides a significant total burn time for prolonged enjoyment.
  • Elegant presentation makes it ideal for gifting without additional wrapping.
  • Supports UK craftsmanship.

Cons

  • Fragrance intensity is gentle, which may not suit those preferring strong scents.
  • Primarily focused on gifting, less suitable for personal, everyday use if multiple scents are not desired.
  • Soy wax can be sensitive to extreme temperatures during storage and transit.
  • Burn time is per candle, meaning one needs to be finished before the other can be enjoyed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply remove the candles from their gift bags and place them on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the wick is trimmed to about 1/4 inch before the first burn to promote an even melt pool.

Compatibility: These candles are designed for general home use. They are compatible with most indoor environments. Ensure adequate ventilation when burning.

Care:

  • First Burn: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface to prevent tunneling. This typically takes 2-4 hours.
  • Wick Maintenance: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use. This prevents excessive smoking and ensures a steady flame.
  • Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool to extinguish the flame. Avoid blowing out the candle, as this can cause smoke and uneven wax cooling.
  • Storage: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain wax quality and fragrance integrity.
  • Cleaning: If wax spills occur, allow it to cool and harden before scraping it off. For residual wax, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Ensure the candle is completely dry before relighting.
