Candle Care

Plum candles should be used to decorate your space - as they have enough aroma to smell great without being burned. However, if you wish to light your candle please burn responsibly and following the proper candle safety guidelines below.

Burn time

We have conducted burn testing on our candle designs, however as each is individually handmade they may burn slightly differently when lit.

We advise that you burn your candle for no longer than 2 hours at a time. This will make your candle burn better and last longer. The first burn is the most important! Leave your candle to burn for at least an hour to create a sufficient melt pool and keep a close eye on it.

Wax drip

Our candles will drip when you burn them. We highly recommend placing your candle on a small dish to catch any wax as it drips. We hope to sell these soon so stay tuned!

Wick trimming

With any candle, it’s important to regularly trim the wick after each burn. Always blow the candle out first and wait for it to cool down before trimming the wick. Keeping a well-trimmed wick will avoid the candle flame getting too large and creating smoke. Trimming the wick will also allow for your candle to last longer. 

Heat & light

Our candles look great anywhere, but please avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or heat. While we use high quality materials, wax and fragrances are sensitive to temperature and light. Place them away from sunlight to ensure you get the most out of your candle!
