Frequently Asked Questions

How long does our candle take to dry?

~45min but the whole experience is 1.5hrs. But it takes 48hrs (min) - 2weeks (preferred) to cure before your first burn.

Do you get to take your candle home with you?

Yes!!! But make sure not to light it for 2-14 days for the best candle burning experience (stronger scent and less tunneling).
