Candle Care

Caring for your luxury scented candles will enhance your Alfrech Scent experience and extend the life of your candle from the very first burn.

Below are some helpful candle care tips:

Burn memory. The first burn is important. Allow your candle to burn for roughly 3-4 hours to melt the top layer of wax, from edge to edge of the glassware or tin. If you do not allow the top layer of wax to melt as recommended above, it will form a memory ring. Once a memory ring is formed it will continue to tunnel down with every burn for the life of the candle.

Trim your wick. For a more efficient and clean burn, keep your wick trimmed. We recommend that you trim your wick to 5mm before each new burn.

Burn time. We recommend that you burn your candle for no more than 3-4 hours at a time, extinguish, allow to cool for a couple of hours and trim the wick before relighting.

Enjoy your Alfrech Scent candle with these handy safety tips:

Burn your candle in a draft free place, away from fans, heat sources and anything flammable.
Burn on a flat and heat resistant surface.
Keep the melt pool debris free.
Keep lit candles away from children and pets.
Never leave a lit candle unattended.
Never handle a lit candle.
Let a candle completely cool before relighting it.
Where possible extinguish your candle flame with a snuffer or wick dipper.
Stop burning your candle when it has half an inch of wax left in the glassware or tin. All good candles must come to an end.
