Candles: Creating a Cozy, Inviting Atmosphere

Trim the Wick
Keep the wick at ¼ inch before each burn for a clean, even flame.
✔
Ideal Placement
Set candles in a draft-free area (away from open windows, fans, or air vents) to maximize scent throw and ensure an even burn.
✔
Pairing Scents
Combine a Balsam Fir Candle with a Lavender Mist Spray for a layered fragrance experience.

Extinguish with Care
Use a candle snuffer to preserve the scent and avoid excess smoke.
Best for: Relaxation, setting a mood, and enhancing home ambiance.
