The Best Bougie Gold Rules for Maximum Fragrance

A Best Bougie candle is more than just wax and wick – it's a carefully crafted experience. To ensure your high-quality scented candles deliver their full touch of luxury and burn cleanly to the very last second, you should follow our "golden rules".

The 7 rules for long-lasting scented candles:

1. The first burn (memory burn): The first time you burn the candle, let it burn until the entire wax surface is liquid. This prevents the dreaded "tunneling".
2. Trim the wick: Before each lighting, the wick should be trimmed to approximately 0.5 cm . A wick that is too long leads to soot buildup and causes the flame to flicker erratically.
3. Avoid drafts: Never place your strongly scented candles near open windows or air conditioners. Drafts cause uneven burning and reduce the fragrance intensity.
4. Cleanliness in the wax pool: Keep the liquid wax free of wick pieces or matchstick remnants. Contaminants can drastically impair its burning properties.
5. How to extinguish a candle properly: Don't blow it out. Use a candle snuffer or briefly dip the wick into the liquid wax and immediately straighten it again. This prevents unnecessary smoke.
6. Note the burning time: We recommend not burning high-quality scented candles in glass for more than 4 hours at a time. This ensures that the quality of the fragrance oils is optimally preserved.
7. Storage: Store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the colors and aromas.

Best Bougie expert tip: If you want to enhance the fragrance of your candle, combine it with a suitable room fragrance diffuser . While the candle provides the atmospheric highlights, our room fragrance sticks guarantee a constant freshness in your home.
