Make your moments magical, safely & beautifully

Every Fir & Flicker candle is crafted with care, and with the right candle habits, you’ll enjoy a cleaner burn, a stronger scent, and a longer-lasting glow.
Here’s how to get the most from your candle…

1. Trim your wooden wick

Before each burn, gently trim the wooden wick to around 5mm.
This helps your candle ignite easily, burn cleanly, and produce that beautiful, soft crackle. You can pinch off the charred wood between fingers once cooled or use wick trimmers.

2. Let the first burn set the tone

For your first burn, allow the candle to create a full melt pool, melting right to the edges.

This usually takes 2–3 hours and prevents tunneling, ensuring an even, long-lasting burn.

3. Burn for 2-4 hours at a time

Wooden wicks perform best with steady burns.
Avoid lighting for less than 1 hour or more than 4 hours.

4. Keep your candle away from drafts

A draft can cause uneven burning, soot, or the flame to extinguish early. Choose a safe, steady surface away from open windows, fans, or vents.

5. Remove any debris

Before relighting, ensure no debris or wick remnants are left in the wax.
A clean melt pool = a safer, better burn.

6. Know when it’s time to stop

When about 1 cm of wax is left, stop burning your candle.

This protects the glass from overheating and ensures safe use.

7. Protect your surfaces

Always place your candle on a heat resistant, flat and stable surface, especially during long burns.

8. Safety reminders

For your wellbeing, please remember:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended

• Keep away from children & pets

• Do not burn candles close to flammable items

• Don’t move a lit candle

• The jar will get hot - handle only when cooled
