Hand-knitted Dhaka Fabric Pouch 👝

Almost every weak candle complaint is a first burn that got cut short. Five minutes of attention on day one and the whole jar burns clean to the glass.

1. 1

   Trim the wick to 5mm. Every time. A long wick smokes, and smoke isn’t a scent.

2. 2

   First burn, go long. Two to three hours, until the melted wax reaches the glass all the way round. Soy has a memory. Cut the first burn short and it’ll tunnel down the middle forever.

3. 3

   After that, two to three hours a go. Four is the limit. Any longer and the jar gets hot and the scent goes flat.

4. 4

   Wick drifting sideways? Nudge it back with a teaspoon while the wax is soft.

5. 5

   Snuff it, don’t blow it. Blowing flings soot across the wax and makes the room smell like a birthday party that went wrong.

Don't love it? Tell us within 30 days and we'll pour it again in a different scent, or refund you in full. Either way you keep the first one.

Soy wax, a cotton wick, 8% fragrance oil, a glass jar. Nothing else. No paraffin, no dye, no lead in the wick.

Non-toxic, but it is still an open flame: flat surface, away from curtains and the cat, out before you leave the room, and stop at 1cm of wax left.

Free shipping on orders over $95. Under that it’s a flat rate calculated at checkout. Or pick it up free at Paddington Markets on a Saturday or Bondi Markets on a Sunday.
