CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS

BURN YOUR CANDLES BEAUTIFULLY – Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting. For the first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent it from tunneling.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of your Nostalgia candle and enjoy a safe, long-lasting burn, follow these care tips:
- Trim the Wick
Always trim the wooden wick to ¼ inch before each burn to ensure a clean, even flame with minimal soot. - Let It Burn Evenly
On your first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and helps your candle burn evenly every time. - Don’t Overburn
Limit each burn session to 3–4 hours max. This keeps the wax pool clean, preserves the fragrance, and extends your candle’s total life. - Extinguish Gently
Snuff the candle using a candle snuffer or gently blow it out. Avoid trimming the wick while the wax is still hot. - Burn Responsibly
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always place it on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable items, drafts, and out of reach of pets or children.

Limit each burn to 4 hours max to help reduce smoke and maximize longevity of the candle.
Always handle with care. Never leave a candle unattended.

"I am a lover of candles and I have not found a better smelling candle than the Nostalgia...it's so warm and toasty and has a hint of tobacco that is just so lovely and inviting. It's not overpowering either."

FAQs
What does the “Nostalgia” scent smell like?
Nostalgia is a warm, sophisticated blend of spicy amber and soft floral notes, grounded with hints of patchouli and brightened by bergamot. Think of a comforting, golden-hour scent that feels both luxurious and familiar — like your favorite sweater and a candlelit evening.
What makes these candles different from regular candles?
Unlike traditional candles, these are made with cruelty-free coconut–soy wax and FSC-certified wooden wicks for a clean, even burn. They’re free from common toxins found in big-brand candles and designed to burn safely around cats, dogs, and other pets.
How should I care for my candle?
For the best (and safest) burn:
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use
- Let the wax melt across the entire surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling
- Avoid burning longer than 4 hours at a time
- Stop burning when ¼ inch of wax remains
- Always burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, children, and pets
Why do you use wooden wicks?
Our FSC-certified wood wicks provide a clean, even burn with a soft crackling sound — like a mini fireplace. They’re eco-friendly, sustainable, and help reduce soot and smoke while supporting the prevention of deforestation.
Are the fragrances natural?
Yes. They use phthalate-free, non-toxic fragrance oils sourced from manufacturers with the highest safety standards in the industry. The scents are complex and refined, designed to fill your space without overwhelming sensitive noses (yours or your pet’s).
How long does it burn?
The 11.8oz Nostalgia candle burns for 50+ hours when cared for properly. The coconut–soy blend and wood wick work together to deliver a long-lasting, clean, even burn.
