Burn with care

Burning tips for a better experience

01. Before You Burn

Start clean, trim often

For candles, trim the wick to ¼″ before each use to reduce smoke, promote an even melt, and extend the life of your candle.

For incense, use a heat-safe holder on a stable surface. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame to begin the smolder.

02. While Burning

Set the mood, safely

For candles, burn until the wax reaches the edges to avoid tunneling. Always keep away from drafts and never leave a candle unattended.

For incense, burn in a calm, ventilated space for the cleanest experience. Let the smoke rise freely and enjoy its subtle presence.

03. After Use

Wind down with care

For candles, let the wax cool before handling. Stop use when ½″ of wax remains. Clean jars can be returned through our recycling program.

For incense, wait for the ash to cool before discarding. Store unused incense in a dry, dark spot to preserve the fragrance.

Sustainability Practices

When the Burn is over.

When your candle has about ½" of wax left, it's time to say goodbye — but not to the jar.

Let the wax cool completely, then remove any leftovers and give the jar a gentle rinse with warm, soapy water.

Once it's clean, you’ve got options:

  • Reuse it at home as a holder for pens, matches, florals, or small essentials.
  • Return it to our Vancouver studio through our Recycling Program and receive 15% off your next purchase.
  • Treat yourself to a new scent — you’ve earned it
