How to Take Care of Your Candle
Although a candle may seem like a simple accessory
Although a candle may seem like a simple household accessory, it can be the one thing that can take your household comfort to that next level.
To optimise on the candle you have chosen, it is a must to take great care of your candle, with some very easy and simple steps. At Cleo Mae we advise you to burn your candle for four hours at a time. Once you are ready to burn your candle again, snip the tip of the wick to get rid of the excess soot.
If you find that the wick is leaning to one side, take a metal instrument (a knife, fork, etc) and move the wick back to the centre, to keep the candle burning evenly.
In the rare case that you find soot around the sides of the candle jar, take a damp cloth and wipe off the excess soot.
What Fragrances to Choose
Whether you’re choosing for yourself or choosing for someone else
Whether you are choosing for yourself, or choosing for someone else. Scents and fragrances are unique to everyone’s personal taste. If you are blind-buying one of our candles, this should hopefully steer you in the right path to choosing a candle that’s just right.
All the Cleo Mae candles are unisex, scents don’t discriminate! If you like a rich, woody fragrance then our Gilda, To Have And Have Not and Bette Davis candles are just for you with various notes of Oud, Saffron, Warm Spice and Amber. For a more floral and fruity scent our All That Heaven Allows candle is filled with scents of Natural Rose, Apple and Patchouli, it smells like a glorious flower bed. For those who like a decadent and earthy scent, The Bogart candle is a well-rounded fragrance with Vanilla and Chocolate, along with the earthy scents of Whisky and Peat.
