5. Slow Morning: Ideal for those who cherish slow, peaceful moments and enjoy bright, uplifting scents. This candle blends citrusy and herbaceous notes with a rich, woody base, making it perfect for creating a serene and calming atmosphere for leisurely mornings.

Each of these candles offers a unique experience, so consider the mood you wish to set and the scents you enjoy most when making your choice.

To ensure the best performance and longevity of your candles, follow these essential candle wick care tips:

1. Trim the Wick Regularly: Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before each use. This helps prevent soot and keeps the flame steady for an even burn.
2. Avoid Drafts: Burn candles in a draft-free area to prevent uneven burning and excessive flickering.
3. Burn Long Enough: Allow your candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container to prevent tunneling and ensure an even burn.
4. Keep the Wick Centered: Ensure the wick stays centered while burning to avoid uneven melting and potential wick mushrooming.
5. Extinguish Safely: Use a wick dipper or a snuffer to extinguish the candle instead of blowing it out, which helps prevent soot and smoke.

By following these tips, you’ll enhance your candle’s performance, ensuring a cleaner burn and maximising your enjoyment.

Using a candle snuffer offers several benefits that enhance your candle experience:

1. Prevents Smoke: A candle snuffer extinguishes the flame without producing smoke, unlike blowing it out, which can create a smoky residue.
2. Reduces Wick Soot: Snuffing the candle helps minimize wick soot and prevents it from settling on surfaces, keeping your home cleaner.
3. Protects Wax and Wick: By extinguishing the flame gently, a snuffer helps prevent wax splatter and wick mushrooming, ensuring a longer-lasting candle.
4. Enhances Safety: A candle snuffer reduces the risk of accidental fires by safely putting out the flame, especially in drafty areas where the flame can be unstable.

Incorporating a candle snuffer into your candle care routine improves safety, preserves the quality of your candles, and maintains a cleaner, more pleasant environment.
