How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim the wick to about 5 millimeters each time before use to promote a clean, even burn. Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges during the first burn to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning the candle for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time, and extinguish gently to preserve the wick and fragrance quality.
Let the wax cool completely before relighting to enjoy the full depth of the scent with every use.
Care, Safety And Storage
For external use only. Do not apply wax or fragrance directly to skin. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid placing the candle near flammable materials or in areas with drafts. Do not move the candle while the wax is liquid. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve fragrance integrity.
