Burn ritual
How to enjoy it
Three small habits for a cleaner burn and a scent that lasts to the last centimetre.
-
2 to 3 hoursStep 1: Make the first burn count
Let it burn until the melted wax reaches the edge. This stops tunnelling for every burn after.
-
5 mmStep 2: Trim the wick each time
A short wick gives a steady flame, no smoke and a longer-lasting candle.
-
Up to 4 hoursStep 3: Burn, then rest
Blow it out after 4 hours and let it cool fully before lighting again.
