Candle Burning Instructions

PARESTHESI soy candles were born from a desire for beauty, simplicity, and balance.
Soy is a natural, renewable resource, and our candles are biodegradable, offering a clean burn with minimal soot thanks to the use of natural wicks.
Our eco-conscious approach is at the heart of every creation — all materials are organic and environmentally friendly, ensuring that each candle brings harmony not only to your space but also to your mind.


The Flame: A Small Ritual

The purpose of a candle is to bring atmosphere, light, and tranquility.
With a wooden wick, the experience becomes even more sensory — the flickering flame and the gentle crackle of burning wood evoke the warmth of a small fireplace.
A delicate line between everyday life and a touch of magic.


Care and Proper Burning

1. First Burn
Allow the candle to burn until the entire surface has melted evenly (to prevent tunneling).
This ensures a consistent burn and extends the candle’s lifespan.

2. The Wick
For cotton wicks, keep the tip 3–5 mm above the wax surface; for wooden wicks, 1–3 mm.
Remove the burnt tip once the candle has cooled.
The correct wick length helps maintain a steady flame and prevents smoke.

3. Extinguishing
Avoid blowing out the candle. For cotton wicks, gently dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten it.
For wooden wicks, use a soft blow in a well-ventilated area. For the cleanest result, use a snuffer.

4. Between Burns
Remove any wick debris before relighting.
If the flame diminishes or goes out, trim the wick slightly.
A properly maintained flame restores even burning.


Candle Protection

If your candle comes with a lid, we recommend using it when the candle is not lit.
It helps preserve the fragrance and protects the candle from dust and moisture.


Wax Melts

PARESTHESI wax melts are made from pure soy and essential oils, delivering a strong and consistent fragrance without a flame.
Place 1–2 cubes in a warmer (electric or tealight-based) and allow the heat to release the scent.

Tips:

  • Do not overload the warmer.
  • Replace the wax when the fragrance fades.
  • To clean the container:
    1. Light the warmer for 5 seconds and remove the wax piece. Wipe away any residue with paper.
    2. Let any remaining wax melt and remove with cotton.

Never leave a burning candle unattended or near flammable objects. Always burn on a flat, heat-resistant surface.


The Experience

Every PARESTHESI candle is an invitation to slow down.
To feel the light, the scent, the sound — and to remember that beauty lies in the senses and the moment. This is the spirit of PARESTHESI: The Art of Senses.
