Room Size and Ventilation When it comes to burning candles, the size of the room can significantly affect the scent distribution. If you have a large room, you may need to use multiple or larger candles to ensure the fragrance is evenly dispersed throughout the space. It's also essential to ensure proper ventilation in the room to allow the scent to flow and reach every corner. Without adequate airflow, the scent may be confined to a small area and retain its intended impact on your senses. Your sense of smell possesses an incredible ability to detect a wide range of scents. However, it can become desensitized over time when constantly exposed to the same aroma. This phenomenon, scientifically called olfactory fatigue, can pose a challenge when perceiving the scent of your beloved scented candles.

Consumers can be confident that a well-made and properly burned candle, whether scented or unscented, will burn cleanly and safely. Although there are no known health hazards associated with the use of scented candles, unfounded concerns about the safety of man-made fragrances vs. “natural” fragrance materials and essential oils continue to populate the media. The fragrances approved for candle usage – whether synthesized or “natural” – do not release toxic chemicals. To ensure fragrances (VOCs) from candles are safe, fragrance formulas are reviewed against the safety standards established by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).  Each ingredient in the fragrance and the finished product is required to meet the specifications set down by IFRA to be compliant with the standard. If the fragrance and product meet the standard, then the fragrance VOCs in that particular product are considered safe for human use.

Our candles are crafted with care, but some fragrances may affect individuals with allergies or asthma. If you're sensitive, we recommend choosing unscented options or burning candles in a well-ventilated space to ensure comfort.

No. The minuscule amount of soot produced by a candle is the natural byproduct of incomplete combustion. Candle soot is composed primarily of elemental carbon particles, and is similar to the soot given off by kitchen toasters and cooking oils. These everyday household sources of soot are not considered a health concern, and are chemically different from the soot formed by the burning of diesel fuel, coal, gasoline, etc.  The production of candle soot can also be minimized in the following ways:  Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every use to promote proper flame height, place the candle away from drafty areas to avoid flame flickering, and ensure that the wax pool is free of debris.

When a candle burns, the heat melts the wax, which is drawn into the wick and vaporized by the flame. This process releases water vapor and carbon dioxide, creating the warm glow and gentle ambiance we all love.

Adding excessive fragrance can disrupt the clean and even burn of a candle. We carefully balance the fragrance to ensure a delightful aroma while maintaining the candle's quality and performance.

Candles are one of the most enjoyable, affordable, and readily accessible luxury items. They infuse the home with colour and fragrance, and can help create a special warmth and ambiance to allow for a sense of calm and well-being.
