We favour soy-based blends for a steady flame and lower visible soot compared with many paraffin candles when properly maintained (trimmed wick, stable environment). The lower melt point supports a steadier flame and gentler surface temperature. Regardless, always keep candles out of reach of children and pets. It also reduces reliance on petroleum-derived paraffin, aligning with our commitment to conscious luxury.

We design for resonance, not volume. A candle should frame what’s already there—your books, your records, your quiet rituals—so that memory has room to speak back. Light becomes a way to revisit a scene, not to stage a new one.

Dark glass, quiet labels, a hint of brass. The palette is deliberate: it recedes so the light can do the talking. It also protects fragrance from excessive light, helping the blend stay true over time.

Each collection is capped at 150 pieces. Constraint breeds intention. By limiting quantity, we ensure every candle receives the attention it deserves — from pour to cure to final seal. Some things shouldn't be endlessly available.

Each candle carries its unique number within the edition. You're not just purchasing — you're claiming your place in a finite collection. No. 037/150 isn't just identification; it's provenance.

The Othala ᛟ rune represents heritage, home, and objects worthy of inheritance. It reminds us that true luxury transcends temporary ownership — it creates legacy.

Our standard candles offer 40-50 hours of burn time when properly maintained. For optimal performance: trim the wick to 5 mm before each use, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn (2-3 hours), and never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance integrity.

Never blow out the flame — this disturbs the wax pool and can cause smoking. Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax using a wick dipper, then straighten it. This method preserves the scent, prevents smoke, and primes the wick for the next lighting. Consider it a closing ceremony.

The first burn is a ritual of patience. Allow the wax to pool completely to the glass edge — this takes 2–3 hours and ensures even burning thereafter. Consider this not as waiting, but as the candle learning the shape of its own existence. Light it when time is yours alone. Let it teach you about slowness.

The matte black glass and lid are designed for life beyond flame. Some collectors use them for keeping small treasures — sea glass, forgotten earrings, written wishes. Others leave them empty, as monuments to burned time. The vessel's second life is yours to author.

When around 10 mm of wax remain – or, in opaque jars, as soon as the metal wick base starts to show – it’s time to let go. Burning beyond this point increases the risk of overheating the glass and disrupts the memory the candle has built so far. Consider this final portion not as waste, but as foundation — the ground from which 40–50 hours of light emerged.

Keep them in their original packaging or a cool, dark place where temperature remains constant. Fragrance is fugitive — it seeks escape through heat and light. By storing candles properly, you preserve not just scent but potential: the promise of future moments yet to be illuminated.

Candles are open flame. Keep away from curtains, books, and wandering sleeves. Never leave unattended. Keep from children and pets. Use a snuffer or dip-and-lift to extinguish; avoid blowing, which can splatter wax or smoke the jar. For hazard statements and allergens, see CLP label under the candle.

Fragrance sensitivity is personal. Start with shorter burns and good ventilation; choose subtle intensity first. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Place candles entirely out of reach — high shelves, secured surfaces. Soy-based waxes generally have lower melt points than many paraffin blends, but the wax, glass and lid can still become very hot. Safety here isn’t overcaution; it’s care expressed through prevention.

Our formulas are vegan, phthalate-free and designed for a clean, low-soot burn when used as directed. Sensitivities vary; if you’re fragrance-sensitive, start with shorter burns and good ventilation.

Maintain at least one meter of clear space above and 10 cm around the candle. Flame creates its own weather — rising heat that can damage surfaces or ignite materials you hadn't considered flammable. Respect the candle's need for solitude. It burns best when given room to breathe.

When burning multiple candles, keep them at least 10 cm apart. Flames too close create competing heat zones, causing uneven burning and glass stress. Think of each candle as requiring personal space — close enough for conversation, far enough for independence.

Always place on heat-resistant, level surfaces. Never on wood, plastic or fabric without protection. The glass base can become very hot. Use a ceramic plate, stone coaster or dedicated holder. The surface beneath deserves the same consideration as the flame above.

Moving a lit candle risks spilling hot wax, dropping the vessel, or disturbing the flame. The melted wax is liquid memory — disturb it, and you disturb the burn pattern permanently. If repositioning is necessary, extinguish first, wait for cooling, then relocate with intention.

A flame exceeding about 3 cm indicates a problem — usually an untrimmed wick or draft interference. Extinguish immediately using a snuffer, never water. Allow to cool completely, trim to 5 mm, check for air currents. A proper flame dances gently, never leaps.

Never. A candle is live flame — it demands witness. Burning while sleeping or away transforms meditation into hazard. If you must leave, even briefly, extinguish first. The candle will wait. Safety is the first luxury.

Our candles are designed for spaces of 15–30 m². In smaller rooms, burn for shorter periods. In larger spaces, position centrally or use multiple candles at safe distances. The goal is presence, not dominance — let the scent suggest rather than insist.

Humidity affects both flame stability and fragrance throw. Steam can cause glass thermal shock. Small, enclosed spaces concentrate heat dangerously. If bathroom ambiance is desired, burn the candle elsewhere first, then move the warm vessel (unlit) to scent the space safely.

Natural wax can ripple or show a small sink as it sets. Not a defect. On the next burn, allow a full melt pool and it will level itself. Keep sessions to ≤ 4 hours and the wick at 5 mm for the cleanest top.

Tunneling happens when the first burn is too short. Give the candle a longer, steady session until the melt pool reaches the glass edge. Keep the wick at 5 mm and avoid drafts. For deeper tunnels, you may try a supervised “rescue burn” with a light foil tent for 10–15 minutes — never leave unattended; discontinue if the vessel overheats.

A faint haze can appear if the flame is too high or the candle sits in a draft. Extinguish, cool, trim to 5 mm, and move away from vents or windows. Wipe the jar when fully cool with a dry microfiber. If visible smoke persists, stop and reassess placement and wick length.

Natural soy can crystallize as it cools and ages. This “frosting” is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect safety or scent. It often softens on the next full melt pool.

Let it solidify completely — never address liquid wax. Once hard, remove excess gently. Place brown paper over residue, apply warm iron. The wax transfers to paper, leaving minimal trace. Consider it chemistry, not catastrophe.

That cap is carbon build-up. Extinguish, let the wax set, then trim back to 5 mm and relight. It can be caused by long sessions or moving air; shorter, well-trimmed burns restore a calm flame.
