How to Extend the Life of Your Scented Candle – A Candle Care Guide
To get the most out of your scented candle, it’s important to store and care for it properly.
Follow these simple tips:
To maximize the fragrance, it’s best to wait 7-14 days after making your candle before lighting it. This allows the wax and fragrance oils to "bind" and integrate more effectively, resulting in a better and more intense scent throw when the candle is lit.
The first burn is crucial for an even candle. Let the entire surface melt before extinguishing the flame. If you stop too early, hard wax can form, which won’t melt properly. Allow the candle to burn for 1-3 hours the first time for the best result.
Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface. Never burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Keep the candle away from drafts, windows, doors, children, pets, and flammable materials.
Trim the wick to about 6 mm before each burn. A shorter wick minimizes soot and gives a cleaner flame that burns more efficiently. Use a wick trimmer for precision (available for purchase in-store).
Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to avoid smoke and splashes of melted
wax.
Allow the wax to cool completely before moving the candle.
When about 1 cm of wax remains, extinguish the candle to avoid overheating.

Scented candles last best for around 12-16 months. After this period, the quality and fragrance intensity may start to degrade slightly. Store the candle in a cool, dark place. If you'd like to display your candle, a glass cloche for candles (available in-store) can help protect it.
Avoid large temperature fluctuations, as this can affect the candle. If you notice condensation on the candle, it’s due to temperature changes. Simply wipe it off and store it in a place with a stable temperature to preserve its quality.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy your scented candle longer—safely and without waste.
Enjoy your scented candle, enjoy your atmosphere.
