elevate every burn: simple care tips for a clean flame, even melt, and flawless ambiance—every single time

01. before the first use

cotton wicks should be trimmed to 1/4 inch above the wax surface before each use

 

place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface—away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials

 

to light the candle, tilt it slightly and hold a lighter or match to the wick for a few seconds

02. during the first use

always allow the entire surface to melt (1–2 hours depending on the size) to prevent tunneling and wick drowning


do not burn the 2 oz format for more than 2 hours — the jar may overheat


for larger sizes, limit each burn to 4 hours (ideally 2–3 hours per cycle)


recenter the wick after each use, while the wax is still soft, to help prevent the glass from cracking

03. for your next uses

always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use — a wick that’s too long or too short can cause the flame to go out


remove any ash, match remnants, or debris from the wax before lighting


to extinguish the candle, use a snuffer to avoid smoke and splattering

04. help! my wick keeps going out!


wax tunneling: melt the surface using a hairdryer or a match (be cautious with the heat), then absorb the excess wax with a paper towel or level it gently with a rounded knife


ash buildup: remove it before lighting—otherwise, the flame may be too weak


poorly trimmed wick: always trim cotton wicks to 1/4 inch before each use to prevent the flame from going out too soon

05. give your jar a second life

when about 1/4 inch of wax remains, your candle has reached the end


place the jar in the freezer or pour boiling water over the cooled wax to help remove it


hand wash with mild soap and give your jar a second life — it’s your turn to get creative! here are a few of our favorite reuse ideas (and we’d love to see yours too!)

diffusers

discover how to choose, place, and care for your reed diffuser to keep it working beautifully and filling your home with fragrance

01. how to use it

remove the reed diffuser from its packaging and unscrew the cap insert the reeds into the container one at a time, spreading them out evenly to ensure they absorb the fragrance oil

 

allow the reeds to soak in the oil for a few minutes, then flip them so the saturated ends face upward, releasing the scent into the air

 

reed diffuser works better in small to medium room

02. flipping the sticks

it’s best to flip the reeds every one to two weeks. however, you can adjust this based on your preference for a stronger or more subtle scent

 

if the fragrance starts to fade or becomes less noticeable, it’s a good sign that the reeds need to be flipped

03. replacing the sticks

high-quality reeds can last up to six months, but you may notice a decrease in scent intensity after the first month

 

for best results, we recommend replacing your reeds every two to three months

04. how to extend the lift of a reed diffuser

flip the reeds regularly for even fragrance diffusion, and clean them with a soft cloth to remove dust

 

keep the diffuser away from sunlight and heat to prevent faster oil evaporation

 

for a more eco-friendly option, refill your diffuser with fragrance instead of replacing it
