Candle Care Tips for a Lasting Aromatic Experience

At Aesthetic Aromatics, we believe that the key to a truly enchanting candle experience lies in proper care. Follow these Candle Care tips to ensure that your luxury candles not only radiate captivating scents but also burn beautifully every time.

Trim the Wick for Optimal Performance

Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This simple step prevents excessive smoke, ensures a steady flame, and prolongs the life of your candle.

First Burn Matters

Allow your luxury candle to burn until the entire surface becomes a pool of melted wax on the first use. This prevents tunneling, ensuring an even burn and maximizing the fragrance throw.

Burn in Intervals for Longevity

While our candles are designed for hours of delightful ambiance, avoid burning them for more than 4 hours at a stretch. To maintain the integrity of the fragrance and enhance the lifespan of the candle, allow it to cool before relighting.

Shield from Drafts for Even Burning

To achieve an even burn, place your candles away from drafts. Drafts can cause uneven melting and may diminish the overall candle experience.

Wick Centering for Uniform Performance

Ensure the wick is centered before lighting. A centered wick promotes an even burn, prevents soot buildup, and guarantees a cleaner, more enjoyable candle.

Snuff It Out with Care

Instead of blowing out the flame, use a candle snuffer to extinguish it gently. This practice reduces smoke and minimizes the chances of hot wax splattering.

Prioritize Safety in Placement

Place your luxury candles on heat-resistant surfaces and away from flammable materials. Safety is paramount to enjoy the warmth and beauty of your candles without worry.

Store in Ideal Conditions

For optimal performance, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain the integrity of the wax and fragrance.

Avoid Moving a Burning Candle

To prevent accidents, never move a candle while it's burning. Wait until the wax has solidified to relocate it safely.

Keep the Wax Pool Debris-Free

After each burn, remove any wick trimmings or debris from the wax pool. This keeps the candle clean and ensures a consistent, efficient burn.

Know When to Say Goodbye

Discontinue use when there's approximately 1/2 inch of wax remaining at the bottom. This precaution prevents the container from overheating and ensures you get the most out of your luxury candle.

By incorporating these Candle Care practices, you not only enhance the longevity and fragrance throw of your candles but also elevate your overall aromatic experience.
