How to get the most from your scented candle
To fully enjoy your candle's fragrance, let it burn long enough each time for the wax to melt evenly. Also remember to trim the wick to about 5 mm before each lighting for a clean, optimal burn.
Choosing the right scent turns your home into a true fragrant cocoon. Treat yourself to an OALI candle and create the mood that suits you!
