Get the Most from Every Burn
Proper candle care plays an important role in maximizing fragrance performance, promoting an even burn, and extending the life of your candle. By following a few simple care recommendations, you can enjoy a cleaner burn, a more consistent scent throw, and a longer-lasting candle experience.
Simple practices such as trimming the wick, allowing the wax to melt evenly, and storing your candle properly help preserve both its appearance and performance.
Taking the time to care for your candle ensures you can fully enjoy the warmth, comfort, confidence, and ambiance that every Kayy's Luxury Scents candle is crafted to bring into your space.
Before Lighting
Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately 1/8 inch. Keeping the wick properly trimmed helps reduce soot, encourages an even flame, and promotes a cleaner burn. Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, fans, air vents, and open windows.
For the first burn, allow the melted wax pool to reach the edges of the container. This helps prevent tunneling and supports an even burn throughout the life of the candle.
During Each Burn
For optimal performance, burn your candle for approximately two to four hours at a time. This allows the wax to melt evenly while maximizing fragrance distribution throughout the room.
Avoid burning your candle for extended periods beyond four hours, as this may cause the container to become excessively hot and can affect overall performance and fragrance quality. Keep the wax pool free from wick trimmings, dust, and debris at all times.
Creating an Even Burn
An even wax pool is one of the most important factors in candle performance and longevity. Each time you light your candle, allow sufficient time for the melted wax to reach the container edges whenever possible for a cleaner, more even burn.
This practice helps prevent wax buildup along the sides of the jar and allows you to enjoy more of your candle while maintaining a consistent appearance, fragrance throw, and overall performance.
Safety, Storage & Fragrance Performance
For the safest and most enjoyable candle experience, never leave a burning candle unattended and always keep it away from children, pets, curtains, bedding, paper products, and other flammable materials.
Extinguish the flame before leaving the room or going to sleep, and avoid moving the candle while it is burning or while the wax remains hot. To preserve fragrance quality and appearance, store your candle in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, and keep it covered or in a clean area when not in use.
For optimal fragrance performance, burn your candle in an appropriately sized room and allow the scent to gradually fill the space. Avoid placing candles near fans, vents, or strong airflow, as drafts can affect both fragrance distribution and burn quality.
Proper care and storage help extend the life of your candle while ensuring you enjoy the rich, luxurious fragrance experience intended with every Kayy's Luxury Scents candle.
