The Ultimate Candle Guide for a Perfect Experience at E Harcourts
Posted by Eileen Harcourt on
Candles are more than just a source of light—they set the mood, elevate a space, and bring warmth to any room. At E Harcourts, we take great pride in our hand-poured soy candles, offering not only exceptional quality but also a luxurious experience for your senses. To help you enjoy our candles to their fullest, here’s a guide to ensure you get the best results every time you light one of our signature scents.
Our candles are crafted from the finest soy wax, a cleaner, longer-lasting alternative to traditional paraffin wax. Soy wax is non-toxic, making it a healthier option for both your lungs and the environment. The wicks are made of zinc, a natural mineral, ensuring an even and slow burn. When burned properly, our candles provide approximately 20 hours of fragrant bliss, especially when you follow our recommended practices.
Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your E Harcourts candle:
-
Suggested burn time: For the best scent experience, burn your candle for 2-3 hours at a time. This allows the wax to melt evenly and ensures the fragrance is fully released into the room.
-
Trim the wick: Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before relighting the candle. This ensures a clean burn and prevents any excess smoke.
-
Prepare for entertaining: If you're hosting guests, light the candle about 45 minutes before they arrive. This gives the wax time to warm up, filling the room with a subtle, welcoming fragrance as they enter.
-
First-time lighting: The initial burn sets the precedence for your candle’s future performance. For an even burn across the entire circumference, allow the candle to burn for a minimum of 1 to 3 hours, or until the wax has melted all the way to the edges. Once this is achieved, blow out the candle and allow the wax to re-harden before relighting.
By following these simple practices, you can ensure your candle burns evenly, fills your space with a luxurious fragrance, and provides a longer-lasting, cleaner burn. Whether you're unwinding after a busy day or preparing for a social gathering, our candles will enhance any moment with their carefully crafted scents.
