Covent Garden Scented Candle

First Burn: When burning your The Original Candle Co. scented candle for the first time, ensure you burn it until the wax melts across the top evenly to prevent tunnelling of your candle, this could take up to 3 hours to be achieve, but, we promise this will make your candle last longer.

Wick Trimming: We recommend trimming your wick before every lighting. The wick needs to be approximately 5mm in length, keeping it at this length will avoid mushrooming which can result in unnecessary soot. This will also control the size of the flame.

Burn Time: Candles should never be burned for more than 4 hours at a time. After 4 hours we recommend you extinguish your candle, allow it to cool and set again before trimming the wick and re-lighting.

Between Burns: When you aren't using your candle keep it out of direct sunlight and use the lid provided to protect the wax from dust and particle build-up and to eliminate the scent from evaporating which may affect the hot and cold scent throw.

Maximising Your Scent Throw: Burning your candle under a fan, open window or anywhere that consists of wind or a draft decreases the burn time of your candle, causes uneven burning and diminishes scent throw.
