The Art of Candle Care: How to Make Your Candles Last

Learn the simple habits that help your Flambeau candles burn longer, cleaner, and brighter.

The First Burn Matters

A great candle experience starts with the first burn. Let your Flambeau candle melt across the entire surface before extinguishing it. This creates an even wax pool and prevents tunneling, so every hour of burn time is enjoyed to the fullest.

We recommend burning your candle for two to three hours on the first use, and never for more than four hours at a time. This keeps the wick healthy and the fragrance consistent.

Simple Care Tips

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting
  • Keep the wax pool free of debris and trimmed wick pieces
  • Burn in a draft-free space away from open windows
  • Always extinguish when 1cm of wax remains at the bottom
