FAQ
What type of wax are these candles made with?+
These Outdoor Scented Candles are crafted using a premium blend of natural soy and paraffin waxes for optimal fragrance throw and burn time. Soy wax provides a clean, slow burn, while paraffin enhances the scent intensity.
How long will each candle burn?+
Typically, each candle will burn for approximately 20-30 hours on a continuous burn, depending on factors such as wick trimming and ambient temperature. It's important to trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.
Are these candles suitable for windy conditions?+
While designed to be robust, strong winds can cause flickering and uneven burning. We recommend placing the candle in a sheltered location or using a candle snuffer to minimize disturbance.
How do I care for my Outdoor Scented Candles?+
To maintain optimal performance, allow the wax to melt completely across the surface before extinguishing. Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time and always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Can I use different wicks if my candle burns unevenly?+
Yes, you can replace the wick with a new one to ensure an even burn. Ensure you purchase replacement wicks that are compatible with the candle size.
What fragrances do these candles come in?+
Currently, we offer these Outdoor Scented Candles in three signature scents: ‘Coastal Breeze’ (a blend of sea salt and citrus), ‘Forest Pine’ (a refreshing pine scent) and ‘Summer Meadow’ (a sweet grass fragrance).
Are the lids weatherproof?+
Yes, the metal lids are designed to be weatherproof and will protect the wax from rain and wind. However, we recommend storing them indoors when not in use.
Can I burn these candles outdoors in direct sunlight?+
While you can burn them outdoors, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the wax to melt more quickly. Consider burning during cooler hours or shaded areas.
What is the size of the candle base?+
The metal base has a diameter of 10cm (4 inches) and a height of 8cm (3.15 inches). It’s designed to provide stability on various surfaces.
How do I extinguish the candle safely?+
We recommend using a snuffer to extinguish the flame to prevent wax splatter. Alternatively, you can gently blow out the flame, ensuring it is completely extinguished.
