Customise Your Candle

Adding Fragrance

1

Choose your fragrance

Pick a skin-safe candle fragrance or essential oil.

2

Add to the wax

Drop the oil directly onto the sand wax and gently stir through.

3

Let it absorb

Allow a few minutes for the granules to absorb the scent.

4

Light & enjoy

Light the wick — the warmth releases the fragrance as it burns.

Never add fragrance oil to a burning candle. Always add fragrance before lighting and allow the oil to absorb first. Scent throw depends on the oil, vessel size and room temperature.

Care & Safety

Maintenance & Safety

Refreshing Your Candle

Snuff the flame, let the wax cool, trim or replace the wick, then top up with fresh sand wax. You can scoop out and replace the wax nearest the wick at any time.

Extinguishing the Candle

Always use a candle snuff or place a non-flammable lid over the vessel. Avoid blowing, which can scatter the granular wax.

Factors That Affect Burn Time

Room temperature, humidity, vessel size, wick length and drafts all influence how long and how evenly your candle burns.

Safety Tips

Keep away from children and pets, never leave unattended, use heat-safe vessels only, place on a stable surface, and keep clear of drafts and flammable materials.
