Candles named for the occasion

This is the thing that makes the range different from most candle brands: the name does the work of a card. Happy Birthday, Congrats, Thank You, Celebrate Everything, Be Kind, Best Babes and Girl Gang are all built to be handed to someone.

The rest are named for a mood rather than an event — Homebody, Let's Stay Home, Just Breathe, Reverie, Hometown, Bungalow — which are the ones people tend to buy for themselves.

The matching solid perfumes

Several candle scents are also made as a solid perfume in a tin — the same blend, worn rather than burned. They are vegan, and they travel in a way liquid perfume does not.

They move in and out of stock more than the candles do, so if the scent you want is not showing, the candle is the way to try the blend first.

Getting a candle to burn evenly

The first burn sets the pattern for every burn after it. Leave it lit until the melted wax reaches the edge of the vessel — usually two to three hours — or the candle will tunnel down the middle and waste the wax around the sides.

Trim the wick to about 5 mm each time before lighting. A long wick is what causes smoking and an uneven flame.
