The Art of the Ritual

To Awaken the Good Life and ensure a clean, beautiful burn, follow these conscious steps for the optimal sensory experience:

→ Prepare Your Wick:  Before each light, trim your cotton wick to 1/4 inch. This mindful step ensures a cleaner burn and prevents unnecessary smoke, honoring the air quality of your sanctuary.

→ Set the Intention (First Burn):  The first time is everything. Allow the entire surface layer of wax to melt to the edge of the vessel. This sets your candle’s memory, ensuring a long, even pool and preventing tunneling.

→ The Optimal Glow:  Allow your candle to burn for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours at a time. This is your dedicated moment of stillness—breathe deeply and enjoy the escape.

→ Respect Your Sanctuary:  Always burn within sight, away from drafts, and out of reach of little hands or pets. Once only 1/2 inch of wax remains, it is time to transition your beautiful vessel to its next life (see The Afterglow guide).

Every candle comes with a Candle Care card to help you get the longest and most aromatice burn.
