Tips for Maximising the Scent Throw
- Use a high-quality burner (tealight burners work best, electric burners should have a bulb of at least 40w)
- Don’t overload – one to two sections is enough
- Let the wax fully melt before judging strength
- Keep away from doors/windows/draughts
- Replace wax when scent fades – don’t top it up
Safety Tips
- Never leave a tealight burner unattended ⚠️
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
- Use unscented 4 hour tealights for safety and scent clarity
- Clean your burner between scent changes
