Candle Care
Looking after your Candle
Wicks
Every candle you buy should have its wick trimmed to 5mm before each burn. This avoids your candle making a smoke cloud when lit, ensures it burns evenly and you won’t get soot dropping into your candle. Do this when the wax is cool to avoid dropping the trimmed wick into the wax pool.
Wax
Your candle is 100% natural soy wax which means that it reacts to heat and light. While your candle should look beautiful and smooth when you buy-it won’t if you leave it on a sunny window sill or in any hot environment.
Soy wax reacts to heat and light by ‘sweating’ or ‘discolouring’. Sweating is from soy oils separating from the wax and fragrance oil leaking to the surface. Discolouration can occur in a variety of ways from white spots or lines, to yellowing. Citric oils are particularly prone to discolouration. Avoid this by keeping your candle away from direct sunlight.
OR just burn it, enjoy the scent and don’t worry about how it looks! These are all visual problems and shouldn’t stop your candle smelling great.
Jars
Our jars are made using real copper and brass-they are not plated. This means that the metal will oxidise over time. This usually looks like a green/blue hue on the rim to start and we have found it often forms on the surface closest to the rim of the candle first. You can polish this away using metal cleaner/polish (look for one specific to copper or brass for best results).
Safety
Always follow safety instructions listed on the bottom of your candle! Never leave a lit candle unsupervised, keep out of reach of children and pets, always place on a stable, heat resistant surface and be careful when handling your jar as it will become hot (particularly as it approaches the bottom).
Let customers speak for us
I was given this as a gift some years ago and absolutely loved it. It's always on my shopping list for others. Love the 3 sizes of candles too.
I purchased two of the French Pear scent candles from a market in NSW and honestly I am OBSESSED. I have just came on to purchase more as I need my house to smell like this 24/7!!
Bought as a gift. Arrived swiftly, well packaged, smells lovely, know my friend will love.
Perfectly described on the website, like Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast. I agree. Transports me to Paris. Beautiful.
Beautiful fresh scent. Most importantly I love this company’s ethos.
Not only do these candles provide a great scent, they also burn clean and evenly. Thoroughly recommend this product.
Nothing captures that fireside feeling as well as this candle.
A friend gifted me a tin and I adore this scent! I love fresh smelling candles and this one certainly feels like I’m in the bush amongst our gorgeous native trees.
This is such a lovely scent. Doesn’t smell like anything else on the market. It’s sweet without being cloying; it’s complex without being weird. My favourite!
My partner and I were out shopping for a new smell for the house and we both instantly fell in love with this one. We got the candle, the reed defuser and the soy melts so it is all around the house. It’s a brilliant blend of sweet and subtle, fresh and invigorating. Really can’t recommend it enough
Prompt delivery of my amazing Dusty Rose scented reed diffuser. Have not found anything else on the market as good as this one. The scent is delightful and my previous one lasted for about a year.
The juniper scent is great, even when it’s not lit, it adds a nice subtle fragrance to the room.
Beautiful packaging and candles smell amazing! Supported by quick delivery and great communication.
Just received my new order of these - favourite one so far!
Well worth the money. Great fragrance and shipped quickly. Highly recommended.
