Burn your candle until the entire top layer of wax has fully melted to the edges — this prevents tunneling and sets the memory of the wax for every burn to follow.

Before every burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch. This is the single most important step for a clean, even flame — it prevents flickering, mushrooming, and excess smoke.

Limit each burn session to no more than 3 hours. Extended burning can overheat the vessel and degrade fragrance quality. Allow the wax to fully cool.

For a stronger fragrance, burn in a smaller, closed space. Keep away from direct sunlight — UV exposure can shift the wax color and affect the fragrance over time.

Use a snuffer to extinguish the flame — never blow it out. This avoids wax splatter, unwanted smoke, and wick displacement.

Once your candle has fully burned, the matte black concrete vessel is yours to keep. Clean with warm soapy water and repurpose as a planter, organizer, or display piece.
