FAQs
What is the scent profile of this candle?
The candle features a blend of amber and cedarwood, offering a warm, woody fragrance with a subtle sweetness designed to create a sophisticated and calming ambiance.
How long does the candle typically burn?
While specific burn times can vary based on conditions, small jar candles are generally designed for extended enjoyment. Adhering to care instructions, such as trimming the wick and avoiding drafts, will help maximize burn time.
Is the glass jar reusable?
Yes, the glass jar is designed to be cleaned and reused for storage, decoration, or as a small container once the candle has been fully consumed.
What is the best way to extinguish the candle?
It is recommended to use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool using a tool to extinguish the flame. This helps minimize smoke and soot.
Can this candle be used in a large living room?
This small jar candle is best suited for smaller spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms, or home offices. In a large living room, its scent may be very subtle; consider using multiple candles or a larger format for more significant scent throw.
How should I store the candle when not in use?
Store the candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance and wax quality. Ensure the cork lid is securely in place.
Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (wax only melts in the center)
Ensure the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch before each burn. For the first burn, allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the jar. If tunneling has already occurred, you can try gently warming the wax pool with a hairdryer on a low setting and letting it re-solidify evenly.
Wick is too large or smoky
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. If smoking persists, extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, and trim the wick again. Ensure there are no drafts affecting the flame.
Fragrance is not strong enough
Ensure the candle has been burning long enough for the wax pool to form and release the scent. For smaller spaces, the scent should be noticeable. If burning in a larger room, consider using multiple candles or placing this one in a more contained area.
Glass jar is dirty or has soot marks
Allow the candle to cool completely. Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn soot marks on the inside, a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol can be effective, but be careful not to disturb the wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove the natural cork lid from the candle.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
- For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface (until it reaches the edges of the jar) to prevent tunneling and ensure optimal fragrance diffusion. This typically takes 2-3 hours.
Compatibility:
This candle is designed for general home use and does not have specific electronic compatibility requirements. Its primary function is to provide ambient fragrance and light.
Care:
- Before each use: Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) using a wick trimmer or scissors. This promotes an even burn and reduces soot.
- During burning: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool with a tool (avoid blowing out, which can cause smoke and splatter).
- Cleaning the jar: Once the candle is finished, the glass jar can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and reused for storage or decor. Ensure all wax residue is removed before cleaning.
