Our 180ml Amber Jar candles have an average burn time of 30-35 hours. Our 30cl candles have an average and approximate burn time of  44 hours, our 36cl candles have an average burn time of 46–50 hours, depending on how they are cared for. Make sure to trim the wick before each burn and allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to get the most out of your candle.

To ensure the best experience, follow these tips:

Allow the wax to melt fully across the surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling. Burn for 4 hours the first time you light the candle, However, avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Keep candles away from drafts, children, and pets. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Do not attempt to move a lit candle once it is on. Always place on a heat proof surface.Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. For more please see our Candle Care page or our Candle Care blog.
