I never knew this wealth of knowledge existed but I'm so glad I found this corner of RUclips 😭
My little home ⚘smells like a yummy meditation spa when you come in. Candles bring ambiance, peace and soothing capabilities to your senses💕love your videos dear
Your knowledge is impressive. Not sure how I got here, but I'm not leaving.
Thank you very much! Glad to have you! :)
I’m really glad I watched this! I had no idea candle care could be so complex. This has been VERY helpful!
So happy it was helpful! Yes, there is so much to candles that most never realized.
Yea I’ve been blowing out candles like a bday party myself incorrectly as I now see silent laugh
You got me hooked. Never thought I would be into this kinda stuff but I'm so glad I went thru with your reccomendation
Its some really addicting stuff! So glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
I've just got some cheap supermarket candles and a Christmas present candle. I'm more for using nebulizing diffusers, but am giving candles a go and always had problems with tunnelling. I've seen videos where they recommend heating in an oven, but this looks a much safer option.
I'm not into the candle scene like some of you here but I think I can assume we're all here for a similar reason. So I wanted to let you know that Yankee makes this lil metal decorative lid thing that you put on the top of your candle after you lite it an so long as you keep it on the there your candle will never tunnel. It basically does the same thing as the foil trick in the video but I guess it looks pretty an keeps it from ever starting
I stopped going to yankee candle because their quality has gone down. Also you shouldn’t need that accessory for your candle to burn evenly.
Kringle candles have 2 wicks for that same reason that the wax for the size of the candle should have 2 wicks not one.
Also Kringle candle was the original owners of yankee before they sold it to whoever owns it now. I Can tell you the quality and care of packaging is amazing. Try Kringle and you’ll never need to use that accessory and the aromas they offer is amazing!
It’s because of Yankee (awful) that you are not as you say into the candle scene
Thank you so much! that is really good to know.
Thank you for saving my wife's fancy candle!!
FYI from a candle maker: If you as the consumer have to do the aluminum foil method on the candle then the company is at fault. The wick size is not big enough to melt the entire diameter. You will have to continue to do it as you burn the candle down and that is not pretty/aesthetic at all. If you're paying for "luxury" it needs to be "luxury" quality ❤
Agreed.
I learned so much watching this episode. Thanks for the helpful tips I didn't know I needed 👏🏾
Thank you very much. Glad I was able to help :)
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve burned candles since I was old enough to buy them and didn’t know about half of the details you address here! I’m a fan!
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for teaching!
Well I asked earlier & you answered all my storage questions. Thank you I learned some new information👌❤️
Thank you so much, I learned a lot from this video.
thanks for the tips. easy, clear, simple, straight to the point.
Damn I got in to candles more since lockdown and spend so much money but didn’t know none of this.
Thanks mate.
Just got my first candle, and didn’t want to mess it up. Such helpful video. Thank you so much! ✨
My Cire Trudon Madeleine was already expensive enough so I've used a paper clip as my dipper! Works like a charm. Great video!
This is the best video on this topic I have ever seen, thank you so much!
Omg I loved this, learned so much
Awesome video! Thank you!!
😉
Love it! Thanks for sharing all you know! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you man!!!❤️❤️❤️
This was amazing. Got my first real candle today and I'm obsessed lol
Sir, you're GOLD.
Somewhere I saw that candle wicks should be trimmed but no explanation was provided. Came to RUclips and saw this video. Now I must watch more of your videos. Great content and very informative.
Thank you very much. Glad I was able to help!
Great video! As a new novice, this help explain why I have had issues in the past. I especially like the foil trick to help correct burn tunneling. I just tried this trick today and worked like a charm! Thank you!
I learned about the initial candle burning process
WOW! Thank you so much, this vid is great and your tips are very helpfull. I'm just starting with candles, I always prefered essential oils, but now since I'm hooked I wanted to reserch the topic and your vids are the best I found. I love your voice :)
Thank you so much for the foil tip! I have more time consuming ways of helping with tunneling, so this is so much better.
Awesome info.! Love it son ❤️😍👍🏽😘🕯🕯🕯
Thank you beautiful!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for making this, I appreciate the depth you took and a lot of my questions were answered
Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could help! Let me know if I could answer anymore questions for you.
Great video now I know how to care for my candles thank you.
Great video. I followed everything in this (but with a different candle, probably not on par with this channel) and despite following all these tips, the tunneling is happening on the first burn. It has broken all the rules. It arrived today, and 3 hours into the first burn the puddle was nowhere near the edge. Almost five hours in (and the max burn recommended was four hours) and there is a clear tunnel wall. It’s a 3.5 inch diameter candle and five hours in, the surface is still not liquid. No dark soot and no mushrooming, but I don’t know whether to let it burn until the surface finally melts, or snuff it and get foil tomorrow to fix the tunneling. For reference, it’s a Sweet Water Decor Salt & Sea candle. I bought an Apotheke candle as well, but it has not arrived yet and I wanted to try this stuff you speak about. Thanks again.
Amazing advice!!!! Thank you 👑
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you very much for this video, it really has all the information needed to care for my candles :)

Man, thanks for the info. I learned a ton!
thank you so much
Thank you
great tips
Very informative. I didn’t know half of these tips for candle longevity. 🤔
This is a cool channel and a very well niche that's needed!!! God ordained idea.! I may never buy a candle again after this and I love candles Lol. I had no idea of the"process" of candle lighting and burning. It's too much work after a long tired day of work.
Just discovered your videos and im hooked lol. Also, your videos are so aesthetically pleasing
Thank you so much!!!
Oh snap, learnt so much from this one video. Great content, thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!!
great, thank you. greetings from hamburg, germany. ❤
Could you make a special video as to how these big candle brands started? It would be so amazing to learn their story as well
RIP to all the candles I burned too long or blew out too early
Lovely channel man
I immediately trust you
Great video.
Thank you!!
I like the color behind at you 😍😌
Thank you very much!!
Lord I better light my MFK Baccarat right now ! I am learning so much
Hey - thanks for the tip about tunnelling- worked a treat. Have you tried the Ortigia Scicilia candles? The Sandalo one is beautiful!
Loveeeee this video thank you for doing this so helpful for customers I shared your video to my customers ❤️🌸❤️
Oh wow! Thank you so much! :)
So luv ur page🌸☀️ new subscriber🌸🌿
@@DetailedDream appreciate you 🌿🌿
You are fabulous
Thank ya!!
I knew some of these but not all. I just treated myself to the complete Cire Trudon Christmas collection and the l’eteignoir dipper this year so your video has hit my recommendations at the perfect time. Thanks.
I love the Cire Trudon holiday collection!
OMG luv, you have me on their website now & I'm soo tempted to get them all as well! Right now they have the winter charms & Gabriel is sold out in all sizes but the smallest already, was that in the Christmas collection you got last year? How was it? Seems popular!
@@sandeeking4488 they’re all perfection. You can’t go wrong with whichever one you choose.
Thank you this was very helpful. I’ve just recently purchased some large 3 wick candles from Nest and a Diptyque candle and I was concerned with keeping them clean during the life of the candles especially since I’ll be rotating burning them and at different times. I’m very fragrance sensitive and I find that I can’t burn them for too long without aggravating my allergies do you have any candles you can recommend? I love candles and I’m looking for some that will give me the least allergic reaction.
Great video. May I ask where I can find the black ceramic plate your using under the cloche?
Thank you for the great info! Can I use the foil method for a tall , 4” candle that has the uneven burned edge…trying to lean in? It was in a tall hurricane candleholder..but did get a draft so now I’m not using it & would love to again. Thank you for any help.
Just FYI, candle memory only applies to soy wax candles. If you have a coconut soy or coconut apricot blend, it will be fine to turn off before getting a full melt pool.
While it might not be glamorous, a little press 'n seal wrap over the top of a candle is the best way to help keep a candle's fragrance from off-gassing during storage. That is, if the candle doesn't come with a lid. I cut a square just big enough to seal the top and put them back in the box, as the box alone doesn't really provide much of a seal.
This is also a fantastic idea!
ill be burnin fine with your loaded nine. awesome tips for a candle baby. subbed
I have a terrible time with my candles creating black soot on everything in my house. It doesn’t wash off some things and I’ve done everything I’m told to avoid it. I’m at my wits end! I’m going to sell all my candles and do wax burners instead.
I've been burning candles for about a week, and DEFINIITELY adhere to setting a timer every time, right from the beginning. I DO extend the time if I see that the wax hasn't melted all the way to the edge in the timeframe of "1 hour per inch of diameter". I have a few that didn't cooperate and need to use the aluminum foil trick. I'm also considering a lamp-style warmer to handle this.
I've just recently turned to getting a couple of candles trying to alleviate the stress. Thank you for your tips!!! Oh and what are your thoughs on wax melts?
Thank you very much for watching!!☺️. I personally love wax melts. I don’t use them as often as candles but are very nice if you want a flameless option. And they sometimes have stronger fragrance throw depending on the fragrance concentration. Trapp has some really nice options for wax melts.
This is not a birthday party 😂 got it lol
🤣- such a first world problem - worth watching just for the comedic value. Anyone know a video series to get mould off luxury soap?
Love your outro music. What’s the artist and track name?
Hey there! Loved this video, really insightful for someone just getting into candles. Quick question: I have bought a few candles that are also decoration for the apartment I wanna move into. I am still living with my parents and don't really have room to use them at the moment, so I wanna store them for a few months. As of now, I have put them in their original packaging and put those into a larger cardboard box. Is there anything else I can do to make sure they keep their fragrance as much as possible?
Thank you so much! As far as storing candles, they are perfectly fine inside of the box. As long as they are out of direct sunlight or humidity, they should be fine until you're ready to use them. Candles tend to follow the same principals as parfums. The only thing is taking the wax into consideration.
What’s the best Xmas scented candle?
this is a great video, i’m so glad i found it and i’ve learned so much - everything thing was amazing i just really cringed at the random movie clips put in, i'm not trying to be a hater i'm just not a fan of that style of editing 😶
I have a 5 wick candle on the way from Diptyque! How long should I let it burn for the initial burn? I know you said the minimum is 4 hours for a 3 wick candle, but what about a 5 wick? Is it about 6 hours? Thank you!
hi! just bougth my first voluspa baltic amber candle....and im watching all your excellent guide...and thanks for that, I have a question, when should I cut the wick after the first use? should I wait until the wax is solid again to cut it after the first use? thanks you! you ar awsome!
I forgot to say, that im gonna cut the wick with scissors.....
Hey there! Thank you so much! Voluspa is a fantastic brand with the use of coconut wax! With wicks, you may need to trim it before the first use as it may be a little long fresh out the box. You definitely want to wait until the wax is solid again to prevent part of the wick falling into the melted wax. It’s a pain fishing it out lol. The method I use is trimming before every burn of it’s needed. And you can most certainly use scissors! I’ve even seen people use nail clippers lol.
Damn, I really gotta step up my candle game. I'm not respecting the wax!
How do you trim a wood wick?
Thank U so much I love a good sent candle, but Hate the soot it leaves on my walls N celling. What about putting the lid back on the jar to put out the flames.?
Not the best because of the smoke. Buy a candle dipper or use a flathead screwdriver to help dip the wick into the wax to kill the flame.
I notice when you do that tunneling technique it helps with the throw if the candles. Increases the fragrances
You are right! It really does help with the throw.
I bought a candle that did not come with a jar so I had to buy a glass jar that is much wider than the diameter of candle and is starting to tunnel as i am burning it. Would your technique still work for my situation?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
10 year ish old Tom Ford candle still in the box + plastic, is it risky? Thinking it might have lost some scent. Please help
So every new candles need to be light during that 2 months time ?
After that first burn in the 2 months time, can we preserve the scent or we still need to burn the candle in the next 2 months to preserve the scent ?
In conclusion, by burning the candle we can preserve the scent of that candle ?
Lol not the holes reference.
I use candle warmer for the remaining wax in the bottom until last drop
Great Idea!
Does this wick trimmer you recommend have a sharp edge to cut? I recently purchased a wick trimmer on ebay and it is so dull that I have to almost saw at the wick. Aren't they supposed to be sharp or am I doing something wrong? BTW Love the video. Very informative.
Scissors or nail clippers also do the job just fine :)
What if the candle we just bought burns for 4 hours and still doesn’t melt across the surface all the way? I trimmed the wick beforehand too :/
😮😊
I was about to blow out my 40$ candle after a first 20 min burn....
So I just place the lid on top of my candle's jar to extinguish it instead of buying some unnecessary tool and use the trimmer afterward. Thoughts?
Smoke will make candle stink and darken the jar
? Just cut the top off the wick while its on fire so it can keep going but tbh iv also never had any issues with soot even after 6+ hours on even just a little 3.4 oz. But you know should still watch it and trim it when appropiate which after 6 hours is usally when im done using it anyway. Also getting a wick dipper is kind of rediclus just get a stick or knife or somthing but hey if your into it im not stoppin ya, just get a good fancy one if your gonna ya know.
And like im pretty much breaking all the rules here but theres no reason not to just burn to the bottom if you want to like i could see a 3 wick getting too hot and poentially cuasing damage but never had issues with single wicks and even then you probably already have a dish or somthing for the candle to sit on so it doesn't cause heat damage to the furniture
I recently saw a guy putting a standard candle in a Lalique crystal candle when the original candle burned out. I was shocked and appaled. I felt attacked and abused by it...
I'm just beginning to explore scented candles. This information is invaluable to help preserve my investment. I now realize I've been doing a few things incorrectly. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
