October is a good month in our house. 1st of October is my wife's birthday and then towards the end of the month it's mine. The entirety of October is filled with birthday plan talks, wish lists, and slightly excessive takeaway food orders because celebrating your birthday is a good enough excuse. It's also when everything starts getting cosy. The autumnal colours kick in, everything turns golden, the nights get longer and pumpkin spice everything season is in full motion.
004 is everything that October is in our household. Vanilla sponge, buttercream, and the smell of a kitchen after baking, all butter and sugar and warm bread. It's a sweet one, with a slight hint of berries.
DISCLAIMER: Do not light this candle unless you have already equipped yourself with pastries and / or cake. Best enjoyed around 4pm on a grey Sunday afternoon with said acquired pastries / cake, sweats on and a cuppa.
Pro tip: If you've got 003 • WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS already, light them together. Thank us later.
Candle Care
Candle Care
Trim the wick. Your candle arrives trimmed and ready. Before each burn after that, trim the wick to 5mm. A shorter wick means a cleaner, steadier flame.
The first burn matters most. The first time you light it, let it burn for three to four hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge of the vessel. Wax has a memory. Get this first burn right and the candle burns evenly to the end. Cutting the first burn short will result in tunnelling down the middle, wasting both wax and scent.
Keep sessions under four hours. Any longer and the wax overheats, which burns off the fragrance and shortens the life of the candle.
Away from draughts. Burn on a level, heat-resistant surface, out of any breeze. Draughts make the flame flicker, which causes smoke and soot.
Stop at 5mm. When the wax burns down to the last 5mm, retire the candle. Burning below that isn't safe for the vessel or the surface it sits on.
Keep the vessel. Every one is made to be kept. Clean it out and give it a second life however you like, and for some batches and sizes we offer refills. Get in touch and we'll sort you out.
