STORAGE

Candles react to their environment.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Heat, humidity, and UV exposure can change the candle’s natural ingredients.

Proper storage maintains the candle’s quality, appearance, and performance.

CANDLE CARE — THE REFINED BURN

First Burn

Let the candle burn for at least five hours the first time.

This allows a full wax pool to form from edge to edge, preventing tunneling.

After extinguishing, trim the wick and leave 1 cm of exposed wick.

Fragrance Peak

The scent reaches its fullest expression after about one hour, once the wax pool is fully warmed.

After Each Burn

While the wax is still soft, gently re-center the wick if it has moved.

Let the wax cool and solidify completely before lighting it again.

The Wick

Luce Divina uses self-trimming wicks that naturally reduce as the candle burns.

Remove any carbon buildup before lighting.

Trim the wick to approximately 1 cm if needed, and remove debris from the surface for an even burn.

Burn Time

Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time (or 2–3 hours for votives).

Overburning can overheat the glass, alter the fragrance, and shorten the life of the candle.

SAFETY

Remove all outer packaging before lighting.

Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and flammable materials.

Never leave a candle burning unattended; keep it away from children and pets.

Do not move a candle while it is lit.

Use a snuffer to extinguish it instead of blowing, to preserve the wax’s purity.

Do not burn the last 1–1.5 cm of wax excessive heat can damage the vessel.

Trim the wick to 1 cm before lighting to prevent soot and overheating.

STORAGE BETWEEN USES

Trim the wick, leaving 1 cm exposed.

Keep the lid on to protect the candle from dust and maintain its quality.
