FAQ

What type of wax are these candles made with?+

These candles are crafted using a premium paraffin wax blend, known for its excellent scent throw and clean burning properties. This ensures the fragrance lasts longer and minimizes soot.

How long do the candles burn for?+

Each candle is designed to burn for approximately 50-60 hours on a normal setting. However, burn times may vary depending on factors such as wick trimming and wax pool size.

Are these candles suitable for gifting?+

Absolutely! The candles come packaged in an attractive gift box, making them perfect for presenting as gifts. You could even add a personalized message to the box for an extra special touch.

Do I need to trim the wick before burning?+

Yes, it’s important to trim the wick to approximately 3-5mm before each burn. This helps ensure a clean and even flame, preventing smoking and maximizing fragrance throw.

What scents are available?+

Currently, we offer these candles in three signature scent blends: ‘Citrus Burst’ (a bright and uplifting citrus mix), ‘Vanilla Dream’ (a warm and comforting vanilla aroma), and ‘Rose Garden’ (a delicate floral blend).

How should I care for the candles?+

To maintain the quality of your candle, avoid placing it on drafts or direct sunlight. After each burn, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface before extinguishing.

What is the burning time for a full melt down?+

A full melt-down will take approximately 25-30 hours depending on room temperature and ventilation levels.

Are these candles suitable for sensitive individuals (e.g., with allergies)?+

While formulated without harsh chemicals, we recommend testing a small area first if you have known sensitivities to fragrances. The scent is relatively mild and designed to be enjoyed in well-ventilated spaces.

What is the size of the gift box?+

The gift box measures approximately 15cm x 10cm x 8cm, providing ample space for presenting the candle as a thoughtful gift. The box is made from recycled cardboard.

Can I return these if I’m not happy with them?+

Due to hygiene reasons, we operate under Amazon's standard returns policy, which allows you 30 days from receipt to initiate a return for a full refund or replacement.
