As we embrace World Candle Month, it is the perfect time to reflect on our love for candles—those elegant symbols of tranquility and warmth that elevate everyday moments. This year’s theme, “How Do You Candle?”, developed to engage with audiences and promote all the wonderful ways we can celebrate with candles.
While they no longer light our way home, candles today illuminate our moments of relaxation and reflection, creating an atmosphere that soothes the soul. At Candalia, each candle is meticulously crafted to enhance your space with a luxurious fragrance that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
A Story Behind Every Scent
Every candle in our collection is inspired by founder Alia’s cherished memories, from the sun-drenched coastlines of the French Riviera that inspired Fleur d’Oranger, to an essential part of Alia’s day, The Matcha Moment. Every candle is made with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to luxury, ensuring the highest quality with every burn.
Candle Care: How to Take Care of Your Candle Like an Expert
To enjoy your candle to its fullest, follow these simple yet effective candle care tips:
- Trim the Wick
Before lighting your candle, always trim the wick to 5mm. This helps prevent soot and ensures a clean, even burn. Be sure to allow the candle to cool completely before trimming the wick. - Use a Snuffer
Extinguishing your candle with a snuffer or spoon helps prevent hot wax from splattering and keeps smoke to a minimum. This method also protects the wick, extending the life of your candle. - Burn Evenly
The first burn is crucial—let the wax melt across the entire surface, which can take up to four hours. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures a long-lasting, even burn. To avoid drafts that could disturb the flame, rotate the candle or place it in a sheltered spot.
PS: Keep Candles Away from DraftsCandles burn best in still air. Position your candle away from vents or open windows to preserve its beautiful burn and keep its vessel pristine.
