FAQs
What about frosting and/or wet spots?
You might notice one or both of these with your candle, and that's ok. It's perfectly normal, and just shows that it's made with an actual coconut soy blend. Rest easy knowing that frosting and wet spots do not affect the burn or scent throw of your candle.
What are the burn times of your candles?
When burned correctly our candles have the following burn times:
- 3.75oz jar is approximately 20-25hrs
- 8oz jar is approximately 40-45hrs
- 13oz (double wicked) jar is approximately 45-50hrs
What about burning instructions?
Included in the box is a 5x7 card that has complete instructions on the back.
- Burn the 3.75oz 2-3hrs at a time, the 8oz 3-4 hours at a time, and the 13oz for 4hrs at a time
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Keep away from children and pets
- Make sure it's placed in a safe area with no flammables nearby
- Keep the wood wick trimmed to between 3/16" - 1/4"
- Keep cotton wicks trimmed to approximately 1/4"
- When the candle reaches about 1/2" - 3/4" from the bottom it's time to stop burning it (you'll likely see the metal wick clip is exposed at this point)
Are your candles pet-safe?
Unfortunately, no one can absolutely guarantee that their scents are pet-safe. Safety is always our #1 priority. Our fragrance oils are of a very high quality and are phthalate free (this is the stuff that generally causes the issues).
We have 2 mastiffs running around the house that have zero issues with the scents. Many of our friends, family, and customers also use them safely with their pets around.
Why does my candle not fill the room with scent?
There are a number of factors to consider in regards to what level of scent throw is being perceived.
- Scent palates vary greatly and what one person finds to be way too much might be hardly noticeable to someone else.
- The size of the room as well as the layout will be at play as well.
It's best to experiment with candle sizes and room sizes to find what works for your home layout.
With open concepts designs or linked rooms it's very normal to have to place several candles in various parts of the level.

How long do your melts throw scent for?
Melts last approximately 8hrs/cube x6 for about 48hrs total enjoyment.
Any advice for taking care of wood wicks?
The most important thing to remember is to keep it trimmed between 3/16" - 1/4" (4-6mm). After you've burned it, you'll notice black build-up. This can be removed by trimming it or you can simply grab some tissue paper and while holding it between your fingers, just gently rock the charred tip side to side. You'll feel the char break away between your fingers. You're always better to leave a little too much wick than to cut it too short.
