Darjeeling & Tea Rose Scented Container Candles

As with all our Natural Scented candles and Wax Melts, these container candles are handmade from natural ingredients and as such colours may vary.

Please Note: Due to the natural properties of soy wax, slight shrinkage or "wet spots" (where the wax pulls away from the glass) may occur during temperature changes. This is a common characteristic of 100% natural soy and does not affect the quality, burn time, or fragrance of your candle.

Before You Light •    Trim the Wick: Always trim the wick to about 5-7mm (1/4 inch) before every single burn. This prevents high flames, soot, and "mushrooming" at the tip. •    Check the Surface: Ensure the wax pool is free of debris like matches or old wick trimmings, as these can act as dangerous secondary wicks. •    Placement: Set your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep it away from children and pet and drafts such as open windows, and flammable items like curtains. The Critical "First Burn" •    Set the Memory: On your first light, let the candle burn until the entire top layer of wax has melted into a liquid pool reaching from edge to edge. •    Prevent Tunnelling: If you extinguish it too early, the candle will "tunnel" (burn straight down the middle), wasting the wax on the sides for the rest of its life. •    Duration: This typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the container until melted wax reaches the edge of the container. Safe Burning Habits •    Time Limits: Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Overheating can damage the fragrance or even cause the glass container to crack. •    Never Leave Unattended: Always keep a burning candle in sight and extinguish it before leaving the room or going to bed. •    Stay Centred: If the wick starts to drift to one side, extinguish the flame and re-centre it while the wax is still liquid to ensure an even burn next time. Take care not to touch or splash the hot wax. Extinguishing and Storing •    Use a Snuffer: If possible, use a candle snuffer or non-flammable lid to put out the flame. This prevents hot wax from splattering and reduces lingering smoke. •    Let it Cool: Never move or touch a candle while the wax is still liquid. •    Store with a Lid: Once completely cooled, cover with a lid to keep out dust and preserve the fragrance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Knowing When to Say Goodbye •    The Final Stop: Discontinue use when there is about 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax remaining at the bottom. Burning it all the way down can cause the bottom of the container to overheat and break.
