You’ve officially entered your good taste era – and we’re lighting up in celebration.
This isn’t just a candle. Not just a fragrance.
It’s your new emotional support system in wax form.
Now light her up and let the scent do unspeakable things to your mood.
CARE LIKE YOU MEAN IT
This candle’s got attitude – and she burns better when you treat her right.
So if you want long burns, full melts, and scents that slap – here’s how to keep her hot:
First burn
First burn - no stress if she doesn’t hit the edges straight away. Our big girls burn slow and steady - give her time and she’ll even out. She’s in it for the long haul.
Trim that wick.
If she’s long and wild, she’ll burn hot and messy.
Get our wick trimmer – no one likes a dirty flame.
Burn her somewhere safe.
Think dinner table, not duvet. She's hot, not reckless.
4-5 hour max.
Let her reset – she dries quick and burns better when you play it right.
(Low drama. High impact.)

When She Arrives, She's Ready to Burn
That wick? Trimmed to perfection. She's prepped. She's primed. She's ready to light up your life.
But after that first burn, it's your turn to keep her in check.
6mm is the golden number - not too long, not too short, just hot enough to stay smooth.
Never trimmed a wick before? No stress.
Grab a ruler, have a peek, and ease into it.
Candle care is a vibe - not a test.
Snip gently, learn as you go, and she'll burn like a dream every time.
Why is there black stuff on the jar?
That's soot, babe.
It usually means the wick was a bit too long — keep her trimmed to 6mm before every burn.
Too long and she'll smoke up. Too short and she'll sulk. You want her just right.
Also: don't blow her out. That's how the smoke show starts.
Use a wick dipper, a snuffer, or push the wick gently into the wax to extinguish - then straighten her back up while she's still warm.
And if you do see a little black on the glass?
No biggie. Just wipe it off with a dry paper towel or damp cloth once she's cooled.
She likes to look polished — same as
Tunnelling? Don't Panic, Babe.
So she didn't hit the edge on the first burn?
Maybe you cut things short. Maybe she wasn't in the mood.
Whatever.
She's not holding it against you.
Yeah, wax has a "memory" - but let's be real:
This isn't high school and she's not Regina George.
She's not bitter. She's not broken.
She just needs another go to melt into her full potential.
Next time?
Light her up, give her time, and let her stretch out.
She's a slow burn, not a quick fix.
And once she's in the zone, she'll smooth it all out like the chilled, emotionally evolved queen she is.
How to Make It Up to Her?
First burn? Let her do her thing for 2-3 hours - or until she melts edge to edge like a total pro.
No wind tunnels. She's not a fan of drama - keep her away from drafts, air con, or breezy energy.
Wick check: Too short and she'll sulk. Too long and she'll throw a fiery tantrum. Keep it cute at 6mm.
Set the Scene
If you can pop her up high, she'll work her magic.
Candles love height - try a bookshelf, mantel, or floating shelf to let the scent drift and fill the space like a dream.
Just make sure there's nothing sitting above the flame - no cupboards, shelves, or overhanging décor.
She's powerful, and if she's tucked too tight, she might leave smoke stains... and not the sexy kind.
Keep It Clean, Babe
Trim that wick before every burn - 6mm is the sweet spot.
Grab a ruler, eyeball it, get a feel for the magic number.
Too long? She'll smoke up and get wild.
Too short? She'll drown and ghost you.
Snip with purpose, and she'll burn like a dream. Every. Single. Time.
Scent That Owns the Room
Cold throw is the tease. Hot throw is the show.
Gertie's got a slow build - she's not here for a quickie.
Give her 20 minutes to warm up and start working her magic.
Once she's in the zone, she doesn't just scent the room - she owns it.
