Frequently asked questions

Products

What are your products made of?

Our scented candles are made with premium coconut soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks and premium Australian fragrance oil for a clean, environmentally friendly burn.

Our sculptural and pillar candles are made with natural soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks.

Are your products vegan friendly?

Absolutely. Our products are not tested on animals, are free from Parabens, PEGS and contain no animal by-products.

How long will your candles burn for?

Our 285g candles can burn for 50+ hours. Our pillar and sculptural candles will vary depending on size, shape and colour.

Do I need to trim my candle wicks?

Yes please! For the best burn, you will need to trim your wicks to 5mm each time you light the candle and ensure they are upright. This will help prevent large flickering flames and black sooting.

Why do I need to stop burning my container candle with 10mm of wax left?

This is for safety. Without wax in the bottom of the jar to absorb the heat from the flame, the glass can become very hot and crack.

Why is there black residue around the inside of my candle jar?

Wicks require a bit of love and care. They should be trimmed to 5mm before each burn or if the candle has been burning continuously for more than two hours. Sometimes, if you pair a longer wick with interference to the flame such as a draught, it can cause some black residue on the glass. If you do get black residue on the inside of your jar, it can be easily removed with a paper towel or cloth. It won’t affect your candle or scent.

Why do some fragrances smell stronger than others?

How each individual perceives scent is very different. The way we feel, the environment, the weather and a whole range of additional factors can influence the way our receptors receive scent – sometimes smelling the same thing differently at different times of the day. Additionally, the type of notes in a fragrance play a role in how we smell scent. Certain scents like caramel and citrus tend to have a stronger impact quickly whereas floral scents tend to build in a space over time.

Where are your products made?

All of our candles are hand poured in NSW, Australia. We aim to support Australian businesses wherever we can so all of our fragrance oils and packaging are Australian made.

Can I get scent samples before ordering candles?

Yes! We sell sample scents in the form of tealights so you can smell the scent first to pick your favourites. We have options to buy single scents or in a discovery set of 6. You can find them here.

Can I send my order as a gift?

We would love to help you send the perfect gift! Just let us know in the order notes section of checkout that the order is a gift and leave a message for us to write to the special recipient. We don’t send any invoices with our orders so you won’t have to worry about that.
