The Miniature Candle

We invite you to discover our usage tips to enjoy your candle in the best possible conditions.

Preparing your space

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

Do not let the candle burn for more than 2 hours. Never leave a candle unattended. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets, and away from curtains and any other flammable materials.

Snuff out the flame

Snuff out the flame using a snuffer is recommended to avoid splashing hot wax.

After each use, trim the wick (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to avoid the risk of fire and unnecessary smoke. Recenter it with a wick trimmer while the wax is still liquid for optimal burning next time.
