Know before you buy
Sumac wax is a traditional Japanese plant-based wax that is firmer than common candle waxes. This density allows for a cleaner, virtually drip-free burn and a more stable flame.
These traditional wicks are thicker than standard cotton wicks, which creates a larger, more luminous flame. Because of their composition, they require minimal maintenance and provide a steady, consistent burn throughout the candle's life.
No, the set includes a small, decorative stand specifically designed to hold these candles securely. You can use them immediately upon unboxing.
No, these candles are unscented. They are designed to focus on the aesthetic experience of the flame and the traditional craftsmanship of the materials rather than fragrance.
Traditional Japanese candles like these are designed to be used as-is. The thick, paper-wound wick is intended to maintain its structure, so trimming is generally not required or recommended.
