About our Wood Wick Candles
Q1: What is a wood wick candle?
A1: A wood wick candle is a type of candle that features a wick made from wood rather than the traditional cotton or hemp. The wood wick adds a unique crackling sound reminiscent of a fireplace as it burns.
Q2: Why choose wood wick candles?
A2: Wood wick candles are chosen for their aesthetic appeal, as they provide a cozy atmosphere with the crackling sound. They also tend to have a longer burn time and can create a broader, more even wax pool.
Q3: Do wood wick candles produce more soot than cotton wick candles?
A3: No, wood wick candles generally produce less soot than cotton wick candles. The clean burn of wood wicks contributes to reduced indoor air pollution and minimizes the risk of staining walls and ceilings.
Q4: How do I light a wood wick candle?
A4: To light a wood wick candle, make sure the wick is trimmed to approximately 1/8 inch before lighting. It's best to use a long-reach lighter to reach the wood wick's base. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges for an even burn.
Q5: What is the crackling sound in wood wick candles?
A5: The crackling sound in wood wick candles is created by the burning of the wood. It adds an extra sensory element to the candle, providing a cozy and comforting ambiance reminiscent of a fireplace.
Q6: Can I trim the wood wick?
A6: Yes, you can trim the wood wick if necessary. Use scissors or a wick trimmer to trim the burnt or mushroomed part of the wood wick before each use. Keeping the wick trimmed helps maintain a consistent and controlled flame.
Q7: Are wood wick candles scented?
A7: Yes, our wood wick candles are scented. Many wood wick candles are infused with natural essential oils or fragrance oils to add pleasant scents to the environment. Look for candles labeled as "scented" or check the product description for fragrance information.
Q8: Do wood wick candles require special care?
A8: Wood wick candles require some care to ensure optimal performance. Keep the wick trimmed, burn the candle long enough for a full melt pool to form, and avoid burning for extended periods (more than 4 hours at a time). Follow the care instructions provided by the candle manufacturer.
Q9: Are wood wicks eco-friendly?
A9: Wood wicks are often considered more eco-friendly than traditional cotton wicks, as they are sourced from sustainable materials. However, it's essential to check with the specific brand or manufacturer for their sourcing and sustainability practices.
Q: What makes your candles stand out, particularly the wooden wick?
A: Our candles boast a unique charm with a wooden wick, adding a delightful crackling experience to your ambiance.

It's a small yet impactful way we infuse both luxury and environmental consciousness into every burn.
Q10: Can I reuse or recycle the container of a wood wick candle?
