Not just a candle. A whole obsession.

Big scent, bold jar, long burn. Made for slow nights in and the kind of dinners nobody wants to leave. Here's how to keep her burning beautifully.

The rules. She's worth it.

Treat her right, she treats you right.

Look after her and she pays you back: cleaner burn, fuller room, more cosy nights than you'll know what to do with. Four little rules, that's it. Easy, babe.

First burn matters most.

Light her the first time when you've got a few hours at home. Big girls burn slow, so don't panic if the edges take a while to catch. Let the wax melt all the way out to the glass before you blow her out. Do it once and she'll burn even every time after.

Gertie Candle Care Trim Candle once used

Give her a little haircut.

About 1cm β€” no shorter, no longer, before every burn. Let a wick grow wild and she'll smoke, soot up the glass and burn way too hot. Keep her at 1cm and she stays clean, even and behaving. Never trimmed one? Scissors, snip, done. It's a vibe, not a test.

Keep her somewhere safe.

Think dinner table, not duvet. Flat surface, away from drafts and anything that catches. She's hot, not reckless.

Four to five hours, max.

Then let her rest. She dries quick and burns better with a break. Low drama, high impact.
