A little care goes a long way.
We want Bode+Ev candles to fill your space with love + light—clean, unforgettable fragrance that inspires joy, creativity, and relaxation. The best way to experience that magic is by following our simple candle care and safety tips below.
Before Burning
-
Cut the curl. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn, starting at the curl.
-
Avoid drafts. Keep away from fans, vents, and open windows to prevent uneven burning.
-
The first burn matters. Allow wax to melt fully across the surface (3–6 hours) to prevent tunneling.
While Burning
-
Burn for 3–6 hours at a time for an even melt and optimal scent throw.
-
Keep the wax pool clean—remove wick trimmings or debris.
-
If the flame smokes or flickers, extinguish, let cool, trim the wick, and relight.
-
For best fragrance, burn in a closed room for about 30 minutes before opening doors or windows.
Safety First
-
Never leave a candle unattended or burning while sleeping.
-
Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects.
-
Always place on a heat-resistant surface.
-
Do not move a candle while burning or when wax is liquid.
-
Keep multiple candles at least 3 inches apart.
-
If soot appears, extinguish, let cool, wipe the glass, trim the wick, and relight.
Storing Your Candle
-
Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
-
Avoid direct sunlight and harsh indoor lighting to preserve fragrance and appearance.
Burn mindfully. Enjoy the glow. ✨
