The Ultimate Luxury Candle Care Guide: How to Maintain Your Flame.

Mastering luxury candle care is about more than just aesthetics; it is about preserving the craftsmanship of a high-end product. Our candles are hand-poured using a premium blend of coconut and beeswax, a combination known for its clean burn and sophisticated scent throw. To ensure you get the most out of your investment, follow this essential guide to professional candle maintenance.

Why Luxury Candle Care Matters.

When you purchase a small-batch, artisanal candle, you are buying a complex olfactory experience. Unlike mass-market paraffin, natural waxes have a “memory.” Without proper luxury candle care, you risk “tunneling,” which wastes wax and weakens the fragrance. By following a few simple steps, you can extend the life of your candle by up to 25%.

1. The Pre-Light Ritual: Trim Your Wick.

The most overlooked step in luxury candle care is the wick trim. Before every single light, trim the wick to approximately 5mm.

• Prevent Soot: A long or “mushroomed” wick creates excess smoke and soot.
• Control the Flame: A trimmed wick keeps the flame at a safe, steady height, preventing the glass from overheating.

2. The First Burn: Setting the Wax Memory.

The most critical rule of luxury candle care happens the very first time you light your candle. You must allow the wax to melt completely across the entire surface, reaching every edge of the vessel.

• Avoid Tunneling: If you extinguish the flame before a full melt pool is formed, the candle will “tunnel” downward for the rest of its life.
• The Golden Rule: For our coconut and beeswax blend, this usually takes 2–3 hours. Patience here ensures a flat, even burn until the very end.

3. During Use: Time Your Scent Experience.

To maintain the integrity of our signature fragrances, do not burn your luxury candle for more than four hours at a time.

• Preserve the Fragrance: Overheating the wax can “burn off” the delicate top notes of the scent.
• Safety First: Limiting burn time ensures the wick remains centered and the vessel remains stable.

4. Extinguishing and Storage.

Proper luxury candle care continues even after the flame is out.

The Reset: Once the wax has solidified, check that the wick is straight and central. Cover your candle with a lid or keep it in a cool, dry place to protect the wax from dust, which can dull the scent.

Avoid Blowing Out: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. This prevents smoke from lingering and keeps the wick perfectly cantered.
