What's the average burning time?

Burn time varies depending on the size and type of the candle. As a general guide:

  • 150g candles burn for approximately 30-40 hours

To ensure the longest and cleanest burn, always trim the wick to 5mm before lighting, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface on the first burn, and avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time.

What books can I pair with your candles?

Each Wax & Words candle comes with a “Pairings” section, where we recommend books that match the candle’s atmosphere, themes, and scent profile. These recommendations are updated regularly to include both timeless classics and exciting new reads, ensuring there’s always something fresh to discover.

We believe that scent can enhance the reading experience, making it more immersive and memorable. Whether it’s the dark intrigue of a Gothic novel, the heart-pounding tension of a thriller, the warmth of a romance, or the adventure of a fantasy epic, each candle is crafted to complement the mood of a great story.
