Pillar Candle Care
Step 1 Trim the wick
A short wick gives a cleaner, brighter flame and an even burn, while a long wick can cause smoking and can cause mushrooming of the wick, where a mushroom-like shape forms at the top of the wick which obscures and disturbs the flame.
Before lighting, trim the wick to between 5 – 7mm and remove any wick debris. A wick that is too long won't be able to draw wax all the way to the top, and the wick itself will start to burn, causing it to smoke. A wick that is too long can also cause a candle flame to grow too long and flare, again producing soot.

Step 2 Place candle on a heat proof candle plate
Pillar candles must be burnt on a heat proof plate. Place candle away from drafts and always keep candle within sight.
​
Step 3 Memory burn
When burning the candle for the first time it must be blown out before it reaches the edge of the candle itself, leaving a 1cm rim. This sets the memory of the candle and is a very important step in ensuring the candle burns well and does not spill over the sides and leak.
Once the candle has been burning for approximately three to four hours, or when the wax has melted leaving a 1cm rim, the candle should be blown out. This first burn sets the memory of the candle so make sure you let your pillar candle burn to the edge
​
Step 4 Blowout pillar and allow to reset
It is important to blow out the candle when it reaches the edge, leaving a 1cm rim. Allow the candle to cool and reset. Once the wax solidifies you can relight it. Usually best to leave overnight.
​
Step 5 – Subsequent Burns
For best results, don't burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time. Extinguish, let the candle cool down, trim the wick, and relight. The wax pool should always be kept clean.

Home and Car Diffusers
Reed Diffusers:
NEVER place your diffuser within reach of children or pets. Do not ingest the liquid, this is toxic. Do not light the reeds and keep away from open flames. Reed diffusers may be flammable. Diffuser liquid may damage some surfaces. Ensure that you wipe any residual oil from the bottom of the bottle before placing it on a protected, level surface.
Instructions for using a car diffuser:
-
Unscrew the lid and remove the inner stopper.
-
Screw the lid back on securely.
-
Tilt the bottle upside down for 3-5 seconds to allow fragrance absorption.
-
Adjust the string to your preferred length and hang where desired.
​
Do not leave in direct sunlight as this can weaken the cork lining.
If you spill any diffuser base on your interior be sure to wipe up straight away and clean with appropriate cleaning car cleaning products to reduce risk of damages to your cars interior.
Jar Candles
Trim wick before each burn to avoid black smoke and residue in the wax.
Always let your candle burn to the full circumference of the jar to avoid uneven burning.
Do not let wax burn to the glass base, repurpose your jar once there is 1.5cm left of wax left
​
Do not burn your candle for more then 4 hours at time.
​
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
