Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn, keep the candle away from drafts, and let the first burn create a full melt pool to the glass edge (this prevents tunneling). Limit sessions to 3–4 hours, then let the candle cool. These simple habits improve scent throw and longevity.

Often, yes. Essential oils can smell more subtle when hot because heat can volatilize delicate aroma compounds; fragrance oils are engineered for strong hot throw. Expect a gentle, natural aroma which is perfect for bedrooms and wind-down spaces.

It’s a common myth. There’s no credible evidence that burning beeswax purifies air via negative ions. Enjoy beeswax for its warm glow and clean burn practices, but don’t treat it like an air purifier.

Use caution especially with cats and birds. Some essential oils can irritate pets; always burn in a well-ventilated room, keep candles out of reach, and avoid enclosed spaces with animals present. If your pet shows any unusual symptoms, extinguish and call your vet.

Treat candles like a small open flame: never leave unattended, place away from flammables/drafts, trim the wick, and limit each burn to ≤4 hours. Let cool 2 hours before relighting.
