Lavender Patchouli Scented Soy Candle - Handmade Wax Relaxing Home Fragrance Decorative Cliff House

Cliff House Essential Oil Soy Wax Candle Hand poured in small batches in South East London A complex blend of essential & nature identical oils, the Cliff House scent is a relaxing natural oil blend that reminds us of long walks on the coast of Cornwall. Lavender oil blends are notoriously difficult to formulate for candle use & this oil delivers where others do not. Top notes include bergamot, clary sage & mint leaf. A floral heart of lily, lavender & patchouli compliment a musky base of moss, vetivert & cedarwood. Vegan Soy Wax Handmade Candle - cruelty free 180 ml, up to 35h burn time Candle care tips: The first time you light your candle, burn it long enough for the surface to melt almost all the way across. For an average sized candle, a couple of hours burn time the first time you light it should be enough. After the first time, light your candle for an hour or two max & no more. That should be enough to fully scent a room without overdoing it. Not only will this make your candle last longer overall, it will avoid it getting too hot & the wick starting to 'mushroom'. This mushroom shape is caused by carbon deposits & happens when the flame starts to burn more wax than the wick can cope with. It can be a sign that the wick is too big for the candle, but may also happen if you are just burning it for too long in one go. If it happens, wait for it to cool & trim back before you relight. Trim the wick: to ensure a nice clean burn, don't let the wick get too long. When you relight, trim the wick down to no more than half a centimetre. Keep your candle free from all foreign objects such as bits of match or anything else that might accidentally fall in to it. These things will just pollute the burn (and might not smell that great) but more importantly - could be potentially dangerous. A cover is also a good idea to keep dust out. Or lightly blow dust off the surface before you light. The whole idea is that the wax stays clean & pure so nothing interferes with the quality of the burn. If you start with a good quality soy wax candle & keep it debris free, you should be on track to get a soot free burn. Keep away from drafts: if there's a breeze coming from one location this is going to interrupt the flame & will lead to an uneven burn. Bad news as this will mean the wax banks up on one side & burns aways to nothing on the other. It's not only wasteful, it's also potentially dangerous as it might cause the lit wick to flicker & flare. Better to place your candles out of the path of a direct breeze or fan so you get an uninterrupted flame. ????
