Caring for your candle

To protect your surfaces, especially if they're delicate (like wood or marble), it's best to place candles on a stand.

Light the candle

Your journey starts here. We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.

Coax out the scent

Leave your candle to burn until the entire surface has turned to liquid (around 4 hours). Do not leave your candle unattended.

Snuff out the flame

Using a snuffer is recommended to avoid splashing hot wax. Use a wick trimmer to recenter the wick and trim it down to 5 millimeters (about 1/5 of an inch) for the best results next time you light it.
