Frequently Asked Questions and Best Practices
CANDLES
What are your candles made of?
Our designer candles are made with eco-friendly coconut soy wax, phthalate-free premium fragrance oils, and natural wood wicks for a clean, slow burn and soft crackling sound that adds to the luxury experience.
How long do your candles burn?
Our 8.5 oz candles burn for approximately 45-50 hours, while our 12 oz candles offer up to 65 hours of fragrance. Burn time may vary depending on placement and care.
Why use wood wicks instead of cotton?
Wood wicks offer a longer, cleaner, and more even burn. They also create a calming soft crackling sound, mimicking a mini fireplace—perfect for creating a relaxing ambiance.
How should I care for my candle?
Trim your wood wick to 1/4 inch before each burn to prevent soot and ensure an even burn. Always allow the wax to melt to the edge of the container to prevent tunneling. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
ROOM SPRAYS
What’s in your room sprays?
Each spray is hand-poured using fine fragrance oils and non-toxic bases, giving your space an instant refresh without harsh chemicals. Safe for most fabrics and surfaces. Always spot test first.
How do I use room sprays for best results?
Spray 2-3 times in the air, onto fabric, or near entryways. For a longer-lasting scent, spray above curtains, bedding, or rugs (test first!) to allow the mist to gently scent your fabrics. Room sprays are a great way to instantly transform the mood of your home, car, or office.
How long does the scent last?
Scent longevity varies by room size and airflow, but most customers report a noticeable fragrance for 4–6 hours, with subtle lingering notes.
REED DIFFUSERS
What are your reed diffusers made of?
Our diffusers feature natural fiber reeds, alcohol-free base oils, and complex fragrance blends that slowly release scent for up to 6 months. Yes... 6 months :)
How do I use a reed diffuser?
Place the diffuser in a safe spot away from direct sunlight. Insert the reeds and flip them after the first hour for an immediate scent burst. Flip reeds weekly for a consistent fragrance throw.
Where’s the best place to use a reed diffuser?
Perfect for entryways, bedrooms, bathrooms, or office spaces—anywhere you want a low-maintenance, always-on scent experience. Ideal for flame-free zones like apartments or dorms.
