Featuring food-safe enameled GHARYAN stoneware, handcrafted by Tunisian artisans who are paid a fair wage.

Scent Strength

Essential oil and natural fragrances will almost always be lighter than typical synthetic fragrances (a feature, not a bug) and will not fill a room as quickly. You can expect our scents to be very pleasant and more subtle, as they are designed to not be overwhelming. Smaller candles are lighter and better suited for smaller rooms like bathrooms, small offices or bedrooms. Candle aromas may not be as easily appreciated in large vaulted or open spaces, but they will always be lovely ambiance.

Candle Care

To help your candle live its best life, follow the below instructions.
(Also, because safety.)

  • Trim wick to 1/4" (5mm) each time before re-lighting.
  • If there is excess "mushroom" on the wick during burning, carefully extinguish the candle and trim the wick to 1/4" (5mm) before re-lighting.
  • Burn for at least 2 hours at a time for best results (to help prevent tunneling).
  • Limit burning to 4 hours per session for safety.
  • Don't touch or move candles while burning or still hot.
  • Avoid burning near drafts or around children & pets.
  • Use a snuffer to extinguish.
  • Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the wax clear of debris.

Wicks are self-trimming – they curl slightly in order to burn their ends into the hottest part of the flame, which will keep the wick an appropriate length and limit mushrooming. However, regular trimming before burning will still help keep the wick at its safest and most functional length.

Some "tunneling" may occur at the beginning of each candle's life. Our candles are designed to "catch up" as they burn both for safety (so that the candle does not become too hot as burns) and to increase aromatic longevity.
