FAQ
The usual questions, honestly answered
How long will my candle burn?+
About 45 hours of total burn time per 7 oz candle, when properly cared for.
Why soy, beeswax, and coconut oil together?+
Each wax earns its place. Soy throws scent cleanly; beeswax burns slowly and sweetens the air; coconut softens the wax pool. Together they make a candle that behaves — clean, even, and long-lasting.
Are your candles clean-burning?+
Yes — cotton wicks, lead-free, no paraffin, no dyes. Phthalate-free fragrance oils and essential oil blends.
What's the first-burn ritual?+
Let the wax pool reach the edge of the vessel on the first light — about 2–3 hours. This prevents tunneling and doubles the life of your candle. Trim the wick to ¼″ before every subsequent burn.
Do you do custom or wholesale?+
Yes, happily. Weddings, events, private-label wholesale — write to hello@olfactic-luminaries.com with your idea.
Are the vessels reusable?+
Absolutely. Once the wax is gone, pop the vessel in the freezer for an hour — remaining wax lifts out cleanly. Wash, and use for pens, bud vases, tiny planters, or single pours of something strong.
