In Cyprus we put lemon on everything. Quartered wedges on every table, squeezed over pretty much everything. It's a flavour and a natural fragrance I took for granted growing up, because it was always available in abundance.
This is the smell of a kitchen table in Autumn, if the kitchen table were in Cyprus and there were 6 freshly picked lemons on it.
It's bright and citrusy up front, softer and woody underneath, with fresh green notes running through it. Lemon as I remember it.
Poured in Sussex by a Cypriot who still squeezes lemon over everything.
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.
