During combustion: optimizing the experience
To fully enjoy your scented candle , it's crucial to respect a minimum melting time . Light it and let the candle burn for approximately two hours , or until the wax surface is melted evenly . This will prevent craters from forming and prolong the life of your candle.
Never leave your burning candle unattended , especially in the presence of children or pets . Also avoid areas with strong air circulation , to prevent the flame from being affected and risking uneven burning .
Finally, do not leave your candle burning for more than 4 hours at a time in order to preserve the integrity of the wax and fragrances.
To extinguish your flames, it is best to use a candle snuffer.
Wick maintenance: a key step for clean combustion
The wick of your candle plays a central role in combustion and flame quality . After each use, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm using a candle wick trimmer. This ensures a straight, clean, and stable flame by preventing residue and soot. A wick that is too long or angled can sink into the wax or produce black smoke .
For complete care, discover all our candle accessories : wick scissors , snuffer , long matches , etc. They will help you care for your scented candle like a pro.
How to properly extinguish a candle?
To extinguish the candle cleanly, avoid blowing out the flame : this generates black smoke , residue , and alters the fragrance. Instead, use a candle snuffer to extinguish the candle without blowing , thus preserving its scent.
Extinguishing your scented candle gently protects the wick , prevents soot buildup , and ensures better burning the next time you use it. A candle snuffer is also a stylish and safe accessory, especially if the candle is in a deep container .
Tip : Once the flame is out , let the wax cool before moving your candle.
Storing and cleaning your candles
To prolong the life of your candle, it is important to store it in a cool, dry place , away from direct sunlight , dust , and temperature fluctuations . This helps preserve the fragrance and the soy wax.
You can also clean your upcycled pot with a dry cloth to remove dust and any traces of soot.
Extend your Aglaé experience with our candle refills, available in a variety of fragrances. Easy to insert into our jars, they prevent waste, saving you from throwing away your container while renewing the olfactory experience .
