Description
The same clean jar closed with a turned wooden lid. The lid matters more than it looks: capping a candle between burns keeps dust out of the wax and slows the fragrance loss that leaves an old candle smelling of nothing.

Burn & care
Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. This is the single thing that most affects how your candle performs — an untrimmed wick smokes, mushrooms and burns through wax far faster.
First burn: let it run 2–3 hours until the melt pool reaches the edge. Soy wax has a memory; if the first burn tunnels, every burn after it will tunnel.
In Indian summers: keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from a hot windowsill. Soy softens above roughly 35°C. If a piece softens in transit it re-firms in a cool room within a couple of hours.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

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.
