Before Your First Burn
Taking a few moments to prepare your candle the right way will give you the best burn experience from start to finish.
• Trim the wick to 1/4" before lighting. This removes carbon buildup, prevents mushrooming, and ensures a clean, even flame.
• Your first burn is the most important. Burn for 2–3 hours until the entire surface has melted edge to edge. This creates "memory" in the wax. Skipping this step can cause tunneling in future burns.
• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything flammable before lighting.

Every Burn After That
• Trim the wick to 1/4" every single time — even if it looks fine. This is the single most impactful thing you can do for candle longevity.
• Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Extended burns overheat the jar and reduce scent throw.
• Keep the candle away from drafts — vents, ceiling fans, open windows. Drafts cause uneven burning and can push the flame toward nearby objects.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children or pets.
• Replace the lid when not in use to protect the fragrance and keep out dust.
