Candle Care & Longevity Tips

Owning a Boujee Life candle is more than enjoying its fragrance. It’s about care, patience, and small everyday rituals that make the experience last beautifully.

Here are a few simple habits to help your candle burn longer and glow beautifully.

 

The First Burn Matters

Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the jar during the first burn.

This prevents tunnelling and sets the “memory” of your candle, ensuring it burns evenly every time.

 

Trim the Wick

Before each use, trim the wick to around 5 mm (¼ inch).

This keeps the flame steady, reduces soot, and helps your candle last longer.

 

Avoid Drafts

Keep your candle away from open windows, vents, or breezy areas.

Drafts can cause uneven burning and reduce the scent throw. A calm, stable space allows the fragrance to release gently and evenly.

 

Use a Heat-Resistant Surface

Always place your candle on a flat, heat-safe surface to prevent overheating or damage to furniture.

Avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures, especially in warmer climates.

 

Handle Marble Jars with Care

Marble retains heat longer than glass.

Avoid touching the jar while it’s burning or immediately after extinguishing the flame. Allow it to cool completely before moving.

 

Extinguish Gently

Use a snuffer or place the lid over the flame instead of blowing it out.

This prevents smoke, soot, and uneven wax surfaces, keeping the candle clean and refined.

 

Mind the Burn Time

Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

This protects the fragrance quality and the integrity of the marble vessel.

 

Repurpose with Intention

Once the wax has fully melted away, clean the jar and repurpose it.

Each marble vessel is made to last — use it as décor, a brush holder, or simply as a small keepsake that adds beauty to your space.
