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.
