After all, as Edith Wharton said – “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or mirror that reflects it.”

Type Of Luxury Candle Should You Purchase ?

Of course, everyone’s reasons and surrounding circumstances for wanting a luxury scented candle. Therefore, we have created a table that can be used as a reference better inform your decision.

Different Types of Wax In Luxury Candles

The type of wax that a candle has is often overlooked by the casual consumer. However, the wax of a luxury candle has a massive impact on its quality.

Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax is the most common type of wax. It produces more soot than other waxes, but it is easy to dye and is very suitable for making high-scented candles.

Beeswax Candles

Beeswax has a natural honey-like aroma and emits a warm glow when lit. Thus, reducing the need to add artificial fragrances and dyes to the wax. This means they are a good choice for those with allergies. Due to its high melting point, beeswax is also unlikely to drip.

Soy Wax

Soy wax is natural and renewable. Essentially, it is the sustainable choice. The wax is made of soybean oil, which is biodegradable but also burns cleanly for extended periods of time. Any spills can be easily washed away with soap and hot water.

When it comes to the fragrance of luxury candles, there are a few things that should be considered

Is The ‘Scent-Throw’ Large Enough So That The fragrance Of The Candle Fills The Room ?

In summary, large spaces require large candles and vice-versa.

All luxury candle waxes have a saturation point, meaning that there is a certain limit to the amount of fragrance that can be added due to safety concerns. E.g. if the o=wax is too saturated, the flame will ignite the essential oils.

The fragrance of luxury scented candles is a very personal experience and preference, which will invoke different feelings and memories in each of us. There are infinite combinations of fragrances so we invite our customers to explore the ones that appeal to them.

As Wax Solidifies, It shrinks And Holes Appear

A second layer of wax I normally applied in order to create a smooth finish.

Some companies only scent the wick or use scented wax during the second refill-this is why you may stop smelling the candle after the top layer of the wax has burned off. In order to give off the fragrance lasting, we keep the high-quality luxury candles emitting fragrance until they are poured out with scented wax.

How Do We Maintain Our Luxury Candles

When the perfect candle has been found, only half of the work is completed. Even the best scented candle still needs some tender love and care to ensure it performs at its best.

Tip 1: The First Lighting Of The Luxury Candle

This is possibly the most important time in any candle’s life and it is important that have enough time is dedicated to it. This is because you need to watch until the wax starts to ‘pool’ up to all of the edges of its container and then extinguish immediately.

If possible, a luxury candle should be extinguished with a sniffer as it will help to ensure that the wick stays centred.

As a result, whenever the candle is lit again in the future, it will burn cleanly down the sides of its glass container.

Tip 2: Invest In Some Wick Trimmers

When you buy luxury candles, it is very likely that the candle maker would have trimmed the wick for the first lighting  If this is not the case, trim the wick to 4mm and once again after each burn.

Trimming the wick down to 4mm will ensure that your luxury candles will last longer but also there will be less soot in the wax than if the wick was longer.

As well as avoiding soot, in order to avoid flaring, we recommend keeping the liquid wax free of wick trimmings or match ends.

Tip 3: Good Luxury Candle Burning Habits

Avoid burning the last centimetre of wax in order to protect the container in which the candle has been placed

Wicks can become deformed and become ‘mushroom-shaped’ if they are burned too long. We recommend not burning a luxury candle for more than four hours at a time.

Pairfum London Luxury Perfume & Soy Candles

One of the advantages of our Pairfum luxury candles is that they have multiple wicks and they are made of (cotton or linen). High-quality luxury candles use finely woven wicks. Compared with light wicks, this wick burns slowly, easily, and has less smoke. The wick should ideally be made of high-quality materials, such as linen or cotton.

Our candles tend to release a more powerful fragrance and provide a stronger glow. The burning time of a candle depends on the quality and size of the candle. The longer burning time of our luxury candles is a sign of quality over cheaper candles.
