The rain knocks gently on the window. The candle you gave me burns on my desk. The lively scent of pine mingles with the delicacy of hawthorn. A wisp of incense seems to envelop them in a mysterious aura. The nobility of leather whispers memories, while a touch of comforting vanilla soothes my spirit. Here, like a little parenthesis, everything seems suspended...
Composition
PINE - HAWTHORN - INCENSE - LEATHER - VANILLA
Each of our HAROLD & MAUDE candles is made from natural 100% waxes. No mineral wax, so no paraffin. The fragrances we use are all guaranteed free of CMR substances and phthalates.
First use
When you use it for the first time, after cutting the wick (about 5 mm), let the candle burn until the entire surface has become liquid! Because of the size of the candle, this may take around 4 hours (allow for this). This step will prevent the wax from hollowing out and forming a permanent crater around the wick.
It may happen that the wax does not melt completely around one edge of your candle (our candles are poured and the wicks placed one by one, by hand, and are therefore never centred to the millimetre). In this case, just before extinguishing the candle, gently use the tip of a knife to lift and slide this little crescent of soft wax into the liquid wax.
Directions for use
Use your HAROLD & MAUDE candle with care! After firing, each of the ceramic pots has been given a matt, unglazed top coat. This beautiful velvety finish may be susceptible to small scratches if handled incorrectly.
For rooms larger than 40m2, we recommend you burn 2 candles of the same fragrance, well apart from each other, for better fragrance diffusion.
Before each lighting, cut the wick so that it does not exceed 5 millimetres. Use a special candle wick cutter to avoid scratching the ceramic.
Use a snuffer to extinguish it, to avoid black smoke and the wick drowning. If necessary, gently re-centre the wick with the side of your wick cutter or the tip of a knife while the wax is still soft.
Safety advice
Place your HAROLD & MAUDE candle on a flat surface and do not leave it unattended. Avoid draughts.
