Bamboo Classic Candle by Nest. Flowering bamboo is mingled with a variety of white florals, sparkling citrus and fresh green accords.
NEST Fragrances candles are made with a premium, soft, highly refined, cosmetic-grade wax that was developed over many years to optimize burn and fragrance diffusion. The ingredients used are the highest grade of wax materials and the finest fragrance oils available. NEST Fragrances candles are well-known for infusing a room with fragrance.
The environment in which a candle is burned and how the candle is maintained are the most significant factors in how it will perform. Following the instructions and tips listed below will help ensure optimal results when burning your NEST Fragrances candles.
-
Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, high flames, smoking or sooting. Use a sharp wick trimmer or scissors to trim the wick. Using a dull tool will split the wick's threads, causing it to "mushroom" excessively.
-
Center and straighten the wick after blowing out your candle. A wick that has migrated to the edge of the candle glass will cause the candle to tunnel and may cause the glass to crack and break if it burns near or against the wall of the candle. Use a candle wick snuffer / tweezers to gently straighten and guide the wick back to the candle’s center while the wax is still melted.
- Burn candles in a well-ventilated room.
-
Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
-
Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, fans or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, smoking or sooting.
-
Before re-lighting a candle, let the candle cool completely (a candle generally takes approximately two hours to cool). Trim the wick and check for unwanted drafts.
-
Burn regular-sized candles for 2-3 hours at a time. Small votives should only be burned for 1-2 hours at a time. Burning for shorter periods of time can cause the candle to “tunnel” burn (leaving excessive wax remaining on the container’s sides). Ideally, the first time the candle is lit, allow the candle to burn until the melt pool reaches the edge of the container. Burning for longer periods of time than recommended can create soot on the glass or cause the glass to become extremely hot.
-
Burn candles in an ambient of 65 – 75 degrees F. Colder or warmer environments will significantly affect the candle’s burn performance.
-
When burning multiple candles, place the candles at least three (3) inches apart. This ensures that the candles do not affect each other’s burn performance with the heat they generate.
-
If a candle is burning unevenly and the wick is centered, it is in a draft. Rotate the candle 90 degrees periodically to keep it burning uniformly, or move it to another location.
