Light the wick and allow the wax to melt to the edges on first use to create an even burn pool and maximise fragrance throw. Trim the wick to 3–5 mm before each burn to reduce soot and ensure a steady flame. Burn for 2–4 hours per session, adjusting for room size, and avoid burning continuously for extended periods to preserve scent quality. Extinguish with a snuffer or by blowing gently to minimise smoke. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep away from flammable materials, pets and children.
