What goes into them
A blend of British rapeseed wax and soy, which burns cooler and longer than paraffin and leaves no soot on the wall.
A wick of plain cotton, sized to each jar so the whole surface melts in the first two hours, as it should.
And essential oils, at a strength you notice when you come into the room and stop noticing a minute later.
Burning them well
Two hours the first time
Let the whole top melt before you blow it out, or it will tunnel.
Trim the wick
Five millimetres before every lighting keeps the flame small and clean.
Away from draughts
A steady flame burns evenly and smokes far less.
Bring the jar back
We clean it, pour it again and take a third off the price.
