Care & ritual

Candle Care

A few simple rituals to keep your candle burning beautifully.

01

The first burn

On the first burn, let the wax pool reach the edges of the vessel. This helps prevent tunnelling and sets an even burn for the life of the candle.

02

Trim the wick

Before each burn, trim the wick to around 5mm. This keeps the flame steady and helps avoid soot.

03

Burn in sessions

For best results, burn for around 2–4 hours at a time, then allow to cool fully before relighting.

04

Place it safely

Always place on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, flammable materials, children and pets.

05

Extinguish gently

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish rather than blowing, to avoid splashing wax.

06

Stop in time

Discontinue use when around 10mm of wax remains to protect the vessel.
