CANDLE CARE

BURN SLOWLY. KEEP FOREVER.

A few simple gestures will help your candle burn evenly, last longer and leave behind an object worth keeping.

A better burn starts here.

Every candle behaves differently. Follow these simple care instructions to preserve the fragrance, protect the vessel and get the most from every burn.

01

Trim the wick.

Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm. This helps control the flame, limits smoke and supports a clean burn.

GOOD TO KNOW

Always allow the wax to cool completely before trimming.

02

Let the surface melt.

During the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges. This helps prevent tunnelling and creates a more even burn.

GOOD TO KNOW

The first burn usually takes between two and three hours.

03

Burn with care.

Keep the candle away from drafts, children, pets and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

GOOD TO KNOW

Do not burn for more than four consecutive hours.

04

Stop at the right moment.

Stop using the candle when approximately 5 mm of wax remains at the bottom. This protects the vessel from excessive heat.

GOOD TO KNOW

Let the vessel cool completely before handling it.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my candle tunnelling?

Tunnelling often happens when the first burn is too short. Let the wax melt evenly to the edges whenever possible.

Can I reuse the vessel?

Yes. Once the candle is finished and the vessel has fully cooled, remove the remaining wax, clean it carefully and reuse it as you wish.

Why does the wax surface look uneven?

Natural wax can develop slight texture or colour variations after cooling. This is normal and does not affect performance.

First, care for the flame.

A few simple gestures help the candle burn more evenly, preserve the fragrance and protect the vessel. The goal is not only to make the flame last longer, but to keep the object ready for what comes next.

01

Start with the wick.

Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm. A shorter wick keeps the flame controlled, reduces smoke and helps the wax melt more evenly.

GOOD TO KNOW

Always allow the wax to cool completely before trimming.

02

Let the wax reach the edges.

During the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel. This creates an even melt pool and helps prevent tunnelling later.

GOOD TO KNOW

The first burn usually takes between two and three hours.

03

Give the flame space.

Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children, pets and flammable materials. Never leave the flame unattended.

GOOD TO KNOW

Do not burn for more than four consecutive hours.

04

Know when to stop.

Stop burning the candle when approximately 5 mm of wax remains at the bottom. This limits excess heat and helps protect the vessel.

GOOD TO KNOW

Let the vessel cool completely before handling it.

05

Prepare the second life.

Once the candle is finished and fully cool, remove the remaining wax and wick base, then wash the vessel gently with warm soapy water. Avoid sudden temperature changes.

GOOD TO KNOW

Do not pour wax into the sink. Remove it while solid and dispose of it separately.

SECOND LIFE

The flame ends. The object stays.

Once the candle is finished, remove the remaining wax, clean the vessel carefully and reuse it in a way that feels natural to you. A container. A small vase. A desk object. Or simply something worth keeping.
