Full details
The B&Q Orange & Grapefruit Candle is ideal for homeowners seeking to create a vibrant yet comforting atmosphere in their living space. Its primary benefit lies in its sophisticated scent profile that balances citrus energy with a soothing vanilla base, though users should be aware that its 35-hour burn time is best suited for occasional use rather than continuous, daily burning.

Can I reuse the glass jar?

Troubleshooting
The candle is producing black smoke
Trim the wick to 5mm and move the candle away from drafty areas like windows or air vents.

Ensure the candle burns long enough on the next use for the melt pool to reach the outer edge of the glass.

Move the candle to a smaller room or ensure the room is not overly ventilated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Place the candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface away from drafts, curtains, or flammable materials to ensure an even burn. Before each relighting, trim the cotton wick to approximately 5mm in length to prevent soot buildup and flickering. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and extinguish the flame once the wax level reaches the final 10mm of the base to avoid overheating the glass vessel.
