Candle Care & Safety Tips

At Scent Kissed, each of our candles is lovingly handcrafted to bring warmth, beauty, and unforgettable scents into your home. Our candles are hand-poured from 100% soy wax. You may notice slight variations or an uneven surface on the tops of some candles — this is completely natural and won’t affect their burn performance.

To enjoy your candle safely and at its best, please follow these care recommendations:

• Choose a safe spot: Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable objects, drafts, and out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid moving a lit candle: Once your candle is burning, the jar will become hot — keep it in place until fully cooled.
• Let it reach a full melt pool: For an even, long-lasting burn, allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the jar during the first few uses.
• Trim the wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to about 6mm above the wax level to prevent soot and ensure a steady flame.
• Mind the burn time: Burn your candle for at least 1 hour but never more than 3 hours at a time to preserve its quality and safety.
• Know when to stop: When only 15mm of wax remains, discontinue use. You can then clean the jar and repurpose it as a plant pot or non-food storage.

We hope our candles fill your home with beauty and fragrance, helping you create and cherish life’s everyday moments🖤
