The Essentials

These practices ensure clean, steady burns with optimal performance.

First Burn

Allow your candle to burn until the entire top layer melts from edge to edge. This helps the wick establish its memory and prevents tunneling. A full melt pool on the first burn supports a steady flame and a longer life for your candle.

Trim the Wick

Before each burn, trim the wick to one quarter inch. A shorter wick supports a cleaner flame and reduces smoke. A well cared for wick keeps the scent balanced and helps the candle burn evenly. Use a candle trimmer to guide this practice with intention.

Create Your Space

Place your candle on a heat safe surface and away from drafts. A stable environment protects the flame and deepens the scent. This creates a consistent atmosphere that allows the fragrance to settle into the room.

 

Burn Time

Burn your candle for two to three hours at a time. Longer sessions protect the structure of the wax and help prevent overheating. Shorter sessions let you return to the flame, supporting steady engagement.

 

A steady flame begins with intention and care.

Safety and Presence

Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep it away from children, pets, and anything that can catch fire. Extinguish the candle gently and allow the wax to cool before relighting. This is part of staying present, steady, and mindful.

Storing Your Candle

Keep your candle covered when not in use to protect the wax from dust. Store it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. This maintains the fragrance profile and preserves the quality you expect from a handcrafted candle.

Honoring the Practice

When you light a CAE Collection candle, you make a deliberate choice to create a focused pause in your practice. Each burn is crafted to preserve the candle's structure, honoring the intentional space you create for considered use.

These candles are not made just to scent a room. They are crafted for deliberate practice, tools designed to mark moments of pause and presence in your daily structure.

Care for the wick. Allow an even burn. Keep your space steady.
