Know before you buy
The scent is chosen at random by the Velvet & Verde team before your order is processed. You will not know which fragrance you are receiving until you open your package.
The wood wick provides a distinct, gentle crackling sound as it burns, similar to a miniature fireplace. It also creates a wider, more consistent melt pool compared to traditional cotton wicks.
While burn time varies based on environmental factors like drafts and room temperature, an 8.5 oz candle typically provides approximately 40 to 50 hours of burn time when properly maintained.
Yes, always trim the charred wood from the top of the wick before each relighting to ensure a clean, steady flame. Keeping the wick at about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long prevents the candle from smoking or flickering excessively.
No, all Mystery Candle purchases are final sale. This policy allows the brand to manage inventory effectively and offer the surprise element at a consistent quality.
