A Simple Guide to Candle Care (For Better Burn & Better Scent)

Candle care isn’t complicated — but a few simple habits can make your candles burn longer, cleaner, and more beautifully. Whether you’re new to artisan candles or a longtime collector, this quick guide will help you get the most from every Fe Sarang candle.

1. Trim Your Wick Before Every Burn

Aim for ⅛–¼". This prevents soot and keeps the flame steady.

2. Let the First Burn Reach the Edges

This sets the “memory” of the wax and prevents tunneling.

3. Burn in 2–4 Hour Sessions

Long enough to form a full melt pool — but not so long that the vessel overheats.

4. Keep Candles Away From Drafts

Airflow disrupts the flame and reduces scent throw.

5. Stop Burning at ½” Wax Remaining

This protects both your surface and the vessel.

With just a little care, your candles will last longer, burn cleaner, and fill your home with warm, inviting fragrance.
