Absolutely! We encourage our customers to repurpose our candle jars once the wax has burned down. Our jars are made in Italy from high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting, making them perfect for storage or decoration. To remove any remaining wax, simply place the jar in the freezer for a few hours, and then use a butter knife to gently pry out the wax. Once the jar is empty, it can be washed with soap and water and used for anything from holding office supplies to displaying flowers. We love seeing how our customers get creative with their Ember & Scent candle jars so remember to tag us on social media with your repurposed candle jar creations!

Yes, our candles are made with high-quality fragrances and essential oils that are designed to provide a long-lasting scent experience. Our candles are hand-poured in small batches to ensure that each candle is carefully crafted with the perfect amount of fragrance. We also use a blend of natural soy wax, which burns cleaner and slower than traditional paraffin wax, allowing the fragrance to release slowly and evenly. With proper care and maintenance, our candles can provide hours of delightful scent.

At Ember & Scent, we want you to enjoy our candles to the fullest. Here are some tips on how to care for your candles: Trim the wick: Before lighting your candle, make sure to trim the wick to around 5mm. This will prevent the flame from getting too large and will help your candle burn evenly. Burn for at least 2 hours: To get the most out of your candle, burn it for at least 2 hours or until the wax has melted to the edge of the jar. This will prevent tunnelling and ensure that your candle burns evenly. Keep away from drafts: Avoid placing your candle in drafty areas as this can cause uneven burning and may even extinguish the flame. Keep away from flammables: Ensure candles are placed on a heat-resistant surface away from curtains, papers, and other flammable materials. Keep out of reach: Place candles out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental burns or spills. Check surroundings: Ensure there are no loose or hanging fabrics near the candle that could catch fire. Store properly: When not in use, store your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve the scent and quality of your candles. By following these simple tips, you can extend the life & safety of your Ember & Scent candles and enjoy their beautiful fragrances for longer.
