Wooden wick candles create ASMR like sound and relaxes our mind. They burn hotter than a cotton wick candle and so this May discolour the wax, this does not affect the performance of the candle and is completely normal.

If you don't trim your wicks then the candle will burn very hot and the flame will be too big. This will create soot and uneven burning. If anytime the flame is very big please extinguish the candle and trim the wick to 1/4 inch after it cools and hardens. If your candle is not staying lit chances are that you have trimmed your wick more than what is recommended. Wood wick candles will vary in burn profile and consistency. Due to the nature of the raw wood material, no two wood wicks are exactly the same. This may cause variations in how they burn.

Care & Use of your Herscent Candle

Place on a temperature-safe surface to avoid heat damage. Keep away from drafts Keep the wax pool free of debris. Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time.

Help my candle is making popping sounds!

Wood wick candles are known to create a popping, crackling sound. This is perfectly normal & creates a bit of an ambience. Enjoy!

My candle is tunnelling down the centre:

The first burn in particular is critical! Candles have a memory pool so the first time you light it, make sure to let it burn for at least two to 3 hours. This will allow the wax to melt evenly all the way out to the edges of the container. This will ensure that when your wax cools, the surface of the candle will remain even. This is very important because wax has a memory which means it will only melt through its last cooling point. A fix for tunnelling is simply done by removing some of the surrounding wax to help the candle melt fully to its edges.

My candle flame is too large:

We want you to get lit - safely of course. You must trim the wick of your candle to 1/4 inch prior to each burn. A flame that is too high has a couple of drawbacks. First, it’s not aesthetically pleasing, and you may be losing precious burn time. But most importantly it may become a fire hazard and must be extinguished immediately. So please remember to trim your wick and get lit responsibly.

My candle is smoking:

Have you placed your candle near a draft? If your candle is smoking, a simple fix is to move your candle away from any fans, open windows or doors, air conditioners, and vents. This will ensure a smooth burn and limit smoking. Also, remember to trim your candle wick 1/4 inch prior to each burn. 

Why has my candle wax turn brown after burning?

Multiple factors can contribute to a candle changing colour, in this case it is likely due to the wood wick. Wooden wicks burn hotter than a cotton wick and so this may discolour the wax. This does not affect the performance of the candle and is completely normal.
