What should I pay attention to when using scented candles for the first time?

A scented candle, made with fragrant oils mixed into the wax, gives off a pleasant aroma when burning.

Burning a candle at home is an extremely simple way to diffuse an agreeable fragrance in our house or flat and to feel good. The same way as we take time to choose our perfume or the smell of our shower cream, the smell in our home is important and contributes to our well-being. Your place does not smell like others’.

A scented candle is a nice touch in a bathroom, especially when guests are over, in a bedroom, or any room of the house. A scented candle can create an ambiance of healthfulness and well-being.

However, the biggest issue with candles are toxic wax and, in the case of older candles, toxic wicks. Besides endangering your health and that of your family, soot from paraffin wax can cause significant damage to the inside of your house, plus your computers, electrical appliances, and ductwork.

Soy wax, beeswax and coconut wax are great options. Be sure to make sure labels say the candles are 100% soy or beeswax (companies like to create blends with paraffin wax because it’s cheaper) and if possible, buy sustainably sourced candles!

Get it right the first time.

Just like the first cut is the deepest, that first burn is the most important. Candles should burn one hour for every 1 inch in diameter of the actual candle size. For example, a candle that is 2 inches across should burn for 2 hours.

How to burn a candle correctly

1. 1. Trim the wick.
   2. Let the wax melt all the way across.
   3. Once your candle’s lit, DON’T blow it out until the top layer of wax has melted all the way across.
   4. Only burn your candle for 4 hours at a time.
   5. Buy multi-wick candles.
   6. Keep the flame away from moving air.
   7. Dip your wicks to extinguish the flame.

Try to keep the wick clean. Removing the soot from that place will help you achieve a clean burn. Find candles that are made using natural ingredients such as pure essential oils, high-quality natural soy wax and unbleached cotton wicks.
