Discover our practical guide to candle care to enjoy your La Fille scented candle safely and for longer.
✨ First Use
For the best burn, let your candle burn for 2–3 hours the first time, until the wax surface has completely melted.
✨ Wick Care
Always keep the wick trimmed to 3–5 mm using a wick trimmer. This ensures a stable flame, clean combustion, and prevents soot or burned particles from contaminating the wax. After each use, gently re-center the wick in the wax for an even burn.
✨ Wax Colour
Our natural eco-friendly wax is slightly honey-toned. When burning for hours, the candle may change from ivory to off-white — this is perfectly normal and a sign of its artisanal production. Learn more in our [manufacturing guide].
✨ Light Exposure
Avoid direct sunlight or strong artificial light, as this may alter the candle’s colour. For optimal care, store it in its original box once cooled.
✨ Temperature
Keep your candle away from sudden temperature changes or heat sources. Do not place it outdoors or near heaters.
