FAQs
How long does the 350g candle typically last?
The burn time can vary depending on usage conditions, but a 350g candle generally provides many hours of fragrance. Following the care instructions, especially wick trimming, will help maximize its lifespan.
What are the dominant scents in this candle?
The candle features a complex profile: top notes of orange and apple, heart notes of juicy peach and coconut, and base notes of plum and musk.
How should I prepare the candle for its very first use?
For the first burn, let the candle burn for 2-3 hours, or until the entire surface of the wax has melted to the edges. This helps prevent the candle from tunneling on subsequent uses.
Can I use this candle in a small bathroom?
Yes, but be mindful of ventilation. In smaller spaces, the scent can be quite potent. Ensure adequate airflow and never leave it unattended.
Is the orange color purely aesthetic, or does it affect the scent?
The orange color is part of the aesthetic design. The scent is derived from the fragrance oils and wax blend, not the color itself.
What should I do if the flame seems too large?
Trim the wick to approximately 1cm before lighting. A large flame often indicates the wick is too long or there is a draft affecting the flame.
How do I clean the candle container after the wax is gone?
Once the candle is completely cool and all wax is removed, you can wash the container with warm, soapy water. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before reuse or storage.
Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (wax only melts in the center)
Ensure the candle has burned for at least 2-3 hours during its first use, allowing the wax to reach the edges. For subsequent burns, trim the wick to 1cm.
Weak scent throw
Trim the wick to 1cm. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area or too close to an open window. Allow the candle to burn for at least 30 minutes to establish a melt pool.
Sooting or black smoke
Trim the wick to 1cm. This usually indicates the wick is too long or there is a draft. Move the candle away from drafts and ensure the wick is properly trimmed.
Wax is uneven after multiple burns
Try a 'full melt' burn: ensure the candle burns long enough for the entire surface to melt. You can also gently warm the top layer of wax to even it out, then let it cool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup and Burn:
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- For the first burn, allow the candle to burn for 2-3 hours, or until the entire top layer of wax has melted to the edges. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the candle's life.
Ongoing Use:
- Always ensure the candle is burning upright.
- Trim the wick to approximately 1cm before each use to promote a clean and steady flame.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Safety Precautions:
- Keep the candle out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not place the candle near flammable objects (e.g., curtains, papers).
- Avoid burning the candle in drafty areas, which can cause uneven burning.
Care:
- If wax accumulates on the sides, gently warm the candle slightly and carefully pour off any excess wax. Wipe the container clean with a soft cloth once cooled.
