Tips For Getting The Most From Your Winter Candles


Burn Time: Let your candle burn long enough for the wax to melt to the edges (usually 2-3 hours). This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even burn.
Wick Trimming: Trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn for a clean, smoke-free flame.
Candle Rotation: Switch between scents to keep your nose fresh. We love starting the day with something energizing like North Pole and winding down with cozy scents like Cinnamon Bun.
Layer Your Scents: Try combining complementary scents in different rooms. O'Christmas Tree in the living room and Sugar Cookie in the kitchen creates a complete holiday atmosphere.
