Know before you buy
While these taper candles are designed for a clean burn, environmental factors like drafts or air conditioning can cause any wax to drip. To minimize this, ensure the candles are placed in a stable, upright position away from direct airflow.
Yes, these 10-inch candles are designed with a standard base diameter intended to fit most universal taper candle holders. If you find the fit is slightly loose, you can use a small amount of candle adhesive or wax putty to secure them.
These candles are completely unscented, meaning they do not release synthetic fragrances or essential oils into the air. They are an excellent choice for dining settings where you want to avoid competing scents while enjoying the ambiance of a flame.
The powder finish provides a sophisticated, matte look that is delicate. Handle the candles by the base to avoid leaving fingerprints or oils on the surface, and store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the finish.
Yes, trimming the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use is recommended. This helps maintain a steady, controlled flame and prevents excessive soot or uneven burning, helping you get the most out of the 15-hour burn time.
