There’s nothing quite like the warm glow and calming fragrance of a Louise Candle™ filling your space. Our hand-crafted candles are designed to bring beauty, peace, and luxury into your everyday moments. But did you know that with the right care, you can make your candles burn cleaner, last longer, and keep their fragrance fresh?

Here are our top tips for candle care:

1. Always Trim the Wick

Before lighting your Louise Candle™, trim the wick to about 5mm. This helps prevent black smoke, uneven burning, and “mushrooming” at the top of the wick. A shorter wick means a steadier flame and longer candle life.

2. Let the First Burn Set the Tone

The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax melts evenly across the surface, all the way to the edges. This creates a memory burn, preventing tunneling and ensuring your candle melts evenly every time.

3. Burn in 2–4 Hour Intervals

Candles aren’t meant to burn endlessly. For the best results, let your candle burn for 2–4 hours at a time. This maintains an even wax pool and helps preserve the fragrance.

4. Keep Candles Away from Drafts

Placing your candle near fans, open windows, or air conditioners can cause uneven burning. Always position it in a stable, draft-free spot to enjoy a smooth and steady burn.

5. Use a Snuffer to Extinguish

Blowing out your candle can cause smoke and splatter. Instead, use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten it back up. This keeps the wick primed for your next burn.

6. Store with Care

When not in use, keep your candle covered or away from direct sunlight and dust. This helps preserve the fragrance and keeps the wax looking fresh.

✨ Pro Tip: Rotate between your favorite Louise Candle™ scents to extend their life while always enjoying a new mood-boosting fragrance.
