Frequently asked questions
What makes your candles different from mass-produced alternatives?
Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using EU-sourced soy wax refined in Sweden and carefully curated fragrance oils. We focus on sophisticated scent profiles that complement rather than overwhelm your space — think of them as olfactory punctuation rather than exclamation marks. Our dark, minimalist aesthetic and literary approach to fragrance storytelling sets us apart from typical home fragrance brands.
How long do your candles burn, and how should I care for them?
Our standard candles offer 40-50 hours of burn time when properly maintained. For optimal performance: trim the wick to 5 mm before each use, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn (2-3 hours), and never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance integrity.
Why do you use Swedish soy wax instead of traditional paraffin?
We favour soy-based blends for a steady flame and lower visible soot compared with many paraffin candles when properly maintained (trimmed wick, stable environment). The lower melt point supports a steadier flame and gentler surface temperature. Regardless, always keep candles out of reach of children and pets. It also reduces reliance on petroleum-derived paraffin, aligning with our commitment to conscious luxury.
Are your products eco-friendly and safe for sensitive individuals?
Our formulas are vegan, phthalate-free and designed for a clean, low-soot burn when used as directed. Sensitivities vary; if you’re fragrance-sensitive, start with shorter burns and good ventilation.
