Candle Care

Before You Light

Trim Your Wick
Before each burn, trim your wick to approximately ¼ inch (6 mm). This helps maintain a controlled flame and can reduce soot, mushrooming and uneven burning.

The First Burn Matters
The first time you light your candle, allow the wax to melt across the surface toward the edges of the vessel. This helps encourage an even burn and prevent tunnelling.

Keep the Wax Clean
Remove wick trimmings, matches or other debris from the wax before lighting.

Choose a Safe Surface
Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything that could catch fire.

Avoid Drafts
Keep your candle away from open windows, vents, fans and strong air currents. Drafts can cause flickering, uneven burning and excess soot.

While Your Candle Is Burning

Never Leave It Unattended
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish your candle before leaving the room or going to sleep.

Limit Your Burn Time
Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting.

Keep It Within Sight
Place your candle somewhere it won’t be easily knocked over and keep it away from curtains, bedding, paper and other flammable materials.

Keep Away From Children & Pets
Always keep burning candles safely out of reach of children and pets.

Don’t Move a Burning Candle
The vessel and melted wax can become hot. Never move or handle your candle while it is burning or while the wax is still liquid.

Watch the Flame
If the flame becomes unusually high, flickers excessively or begins producing excessive smoke, extinguish the candle and allow it to cool. Trim the wick before relighting.

Give Candles Space
When burning multiple candles, keep adequate space between them to prevent excessive heat.

When It’s Time to Extinguish

Snuff, Don’t Splash
Use a candle snuffer when possible to gently extinguish the flame.

Never Use Water
Never use water to extinguish your candle. Water can cause hot wax to splatter and may damage or crack the vessel.

Make Sure It’s Fully Out
Before leaving the candle unattended, confirm that the flame and any glowing wick embers are completely extinguished.

Let It Cool
Allow the wax and vessel to cool completely before touching, moving or relighting your candle.

Know When to Stop

For safety, discontinue use when approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.

Continuing to burn a candle when very little wax remains can cause the vessel to become excessively hot.

A Few Maison Rose Tips

Keep It Cool
Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to help preserve its appearance and fragrance.

Keep Trimming
Don’t forget to trim your wick before every burn—not just the first one.

Give It Time to Cool
Before relighting your candle, allow the wax to cool and solidify completely.

Enjoy Every Burn
A properly cared-for candle will reward you with a more even burn and a better fragrance experience.
