Professional tips for long-lasting scented candles

The 3-hour rule is the most important secret for any candle lover who values ​​quality. To ensure your high-quality scented candles reach their full potential, you should let them burn until the entire surface is liquid each time you light them – that is, until the melted wax reaches the rim of the glass.

Why is this so important? Especially with high-quality scented candles in glass jars, this prevents so-called "tunneling." If a candle is extinguished too soon, it only burns in the center. The result: an unsightly ring of wax remains around the edge, and the burning time of your candle is drastically reduced.

Your benefits from the correct burning time:

• Long-lasting scented candles: Thanks to the even burning, you make optimal use of the entire wax volume and extend the lifespan of your candle.
• Strong scented candles: Only if the "melt pool" is large enough can the precious fragrances be perfectly distributed in the room.
• Clean glass: No wax residue on the sides means a clear view of the flame and an elegant design right to the end.

Best Bougie expert tip: Planning a short moment of relaxation? If you don't have three hours to spare, it's best to refrain from lighting the candle. Give your high-quality scented candles the time they need to transform your home into a luxurious olfactory oasis.
