TLC for your Wood Wick Candles! Just like anything in nature, wood wicks can be tempermental and each one unique. All of our wood wicks are made with a natural wood and can vary in the wood thickness and grain. This will cause every Reading Room Candle to burn a little bit differently. We always recommend to ensure that your first burn is always to a full melt pool (wax melted to the edge of the tin). Container candles have a ‘memory’ and if you d on’t allow your candle to burn to the jar’s edge on the first burn, every subsequent burn will see the melted wax pool ‘tunnel’ down the wick rather than burn evenly out to the tin's edge. Your wick will eventually drown in wax and will not stay lit. Love Sara x

Why won't my wood wick candle light? If your candle extinguishes the first time you light it, simply try relighting it until it catches ( Sometimes it may take multiple lights). Other tips: Always trim your wick! Wood wicks need to be short. Trim all of the burnt pieces off. Old nail clippers work the best for this! For relighting, tip the candle, and relight on an angle. This will allow the flame to slowly reach across the wick. It is easier to use a click-lighter and burn the wick allowing a little pool of wax to melt at the base of the wick, extinguish flame and allow to cool off for a minute or so. Use a paper towel or napkin& absorb excess wax on and around the wick. Discard tissue. Wait another minute and then relight candle

Why is my candle funnelling and how can I fix it? Do not try chipping away extra wax to fix the tunneling. If you allow your candle to burn for longer periods of time, this problem should fix itself. Does the melted wax pool extend right to the tin edge or is there a build up of hard wax around the edge of your tin? When burning your candle, does the melted wax seem to tunnel down the wick rather than melt evenly out to tin's edge? The main reason a wick won’t stay lit or begins to funnel is because the candle was not burnt correctly on the first burn. Please see my other FAQ's for some super candle care tips to avoid this happening! Love Sara x

Zeus-Greek Mythology Inspired- Zesty Lemon, Orange Peel and Coriander

‘𝘡𝘦𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵, 𝘛𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘴!’ 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳⁣
⁣
This bright, masculine accord is perfect for the God of Lightning!

Opening this fragrance are zesty lemon and mandarin top notes, before they contrast with the herbaceous spiciness of coriander. The heart notes bring an aromatic richness with labdanum, violet leaves and rosemary, before the base notes strengthen the blend with the warmth of amber and the intensity of woody cedar.⁣

This candle is made with a wooden wick, which quietly crackles adding to the experience.

Hand poured 200ml pure soy wax - burns for approx 35-40 hours

Important Information.

Being a natural product, soy wax is susceptible to alter and differentiate between batches and seasons. Please know that frosting, cracking, wet-spotting and dipping on the surface is very common in soy wax candles.

Each candle pour is unique and different. Because of this, there may be slight variations in appearance, and colour than shown in the image. This will not affect the candle's burn or scent.

All of our candles are made with the highest quality fragrance oils and pure soy wax.
