Scenta 🕯️ Care Guide
Make every burn
count.
A little ritual goes a long way. These six rules will help your Scenta candle burn cleaner, last longer, and smell better — every single time.
Trim the Wick
Before every burn, trim your wick to 5 mm. A shorter wick means a cleaner, soot-free flame and a longer candle life.
First Burn Matters Most
Let the wax melt all the way to the edges on the very first burn. This prevents tunnelling and ensures an even scent throw every time after.
Burn in Sessions
Keep each burn to 4 hours max. Burning longer overheats the vessel, weakens the fragrance and shortens the candle's lifespan.
Snuff, Don't Blow
Use a snuffer or dip the wick into the wax to extinguish. Blowing out sends smoke through your space and misaligns the wick.
Keep it Level & Clear
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from draughts, curtains, and anything flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Know When to Stop
Stop burning when 10 mm of wax remains. Burning to the bottom can overheat the container and cause cracking.
The 30-second rule
Trim. Level. Light. That's it. 30 seconds of prep before every burn is all it takes to protect your candle and fill your space with the cleanest throw possible.
