Scented Candle Care Tips: Make the Most of Your Amoura Experience

Scented candles are more than just home décor — they’re about creating memories, setting moods, and bringing warmth into your space. At Amoura, we hand-pour each candle with love and premium ingredients to give you the perfect balance of fragrance and glow. But to truly enjoy your candle and make it last longer, a little care goes a long way.

Here are some essential candle care tips to keep your Amoura candle burning beautifully:

1. Trim the Wick Before Every Burn ✂️

Always trim your candle wick to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) before lighting. This prevents soot, uneven burning, and ensures a steady flame. A trimmed wick also helps your candle last longer.

2. Let the Wax Pool Form Completely 🕯️

During the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling (a hole forming in the middle) and ensures an even burn every time.

3. Burn in Intervals ⏳

Avoid burning your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a stretch. This protects the wick, maintains fragrance quality, and keeps the glass container from overheating.

4. Keep Candles Away from Drafts 🌬️

Always place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from fans, windows, or AC vents. Drafts can cause uneven burning and faster wax consumption.

5. Extinguish Safely 🚫🔥

Blowing out candles can cause smoke and splatter. Instead, use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax and lift it back up. This keeps your wick primed for the next burn.

6. Store with Care 📦

When not in use, keep your Amoura candle covered and away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents dust from settling on the wax.

7. Repurpose the Jar 🌿

Once your candle is finished, don’t throw away the jar. Amoura’s premium containers can be reused as chic organizers for your desk, vanity, or even as mini planters.
