Vessels and Visuals Disclaimer
At Candescent, we offer a variety of luxury vessel colors to complement your style and space. Current options include matte red, rich brown, and matte frost, each chosen to elevate the aesthetic of your home.
Please note: while some of our photography features dried herbs, florals, or botanicals, we do not physically add these materials to our candles. Although they may look beautiful, dried additives can interfere with burn quality, create an unpleasant odor when singed, and offer very little aromatic benefit once lit. Our photos are intended to visually represent the fragrance notes within each candle — not the physical ingredients.
We are committed to providing a clean, high-quality burn experience every time. Thank you for appreciating the craft behind the glow..
FAQs
What makes a wooden wick different from a cotton wick?
Wooden wicks provide a cleaner, slower burn and create a soft crackling sound reminiscent of a fireplace. They also promote a modern look with a wider melt pool and stronger scent throw.
Why does my wooden wick sometimes go out?
Wooden wicks need to be trimmed before each burb. If the wick is too long, the flame can struggle. Simply pinch off the charred wood or use wick trimmers to keep it around 1/8-1/4 inch long.
What should I do if my candle tunnels?
Burn your candle long enough on the next session to allow the wax to level out, or use a candle topper to her the edges evenly.
How long should my first candle burn be?
Your first burn should last 2-3 hours, or until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel. This prevents tunneling and helps your candle last longer.
What does it mean if my wooden wick keeps flickering?
A gentle flicker is normal. If the flame is struggling, trim the charred wood and ensure you are burning your candle away from drafts or vents.
Why is there leftover wax around the edge?
If your candle wasn’t allowed to reach a full melt pool on the first few burns, tunneling may occur. Ensure long enough burns (2-3 hours) early on.
