How long will a Hickory Lane candle burn for?
In ideal conditions, 700g candles burn for up to 100 hours, 285g & 300g candles burn for up to 45+ hours, 180g candles burn for up to 30+ hours and 100g candles burn for up to 20+ hours.
Please note that we aim to ensure all of our candles are as long lasting as possible however burn times do vary based on a variety of factors. These include candle maintenance (whether wicks are being properly trimmed and are centered), the length of each continuous burn time (a longer burn that results in a deeper melted wax pool has the tendency to evaporate faster), candle placement (air-conditioned and drafty areas may effect burn times) and the age of the candle. To get the most out of your candles we always advise that you follow the enclosed burning instructions.
How long will a Hickory Lane Diffuser last?
A 200ml Hickory Lane Diffuser will last, once opened, up to three months. Environmental factors, such as direct sunlight and breezes, and also the frequency you flip your reeds, may impact the life of your Fragrance Diffuser. For best performance we encourage you to refer to the enclosed care instructions.
Do I need to trim my candle wicks?
Yes. As the wax level drops, the wicks effectively become longer so we advise that you trim the wicks to 7mm and ensure they're upright prior to each new burn.
What does Triple Scented mean?
This means that Hickory Lane use some of the highest fragrance loads in the industry to deliver one of the strongest fragrance releases on the market. The fragrance lasts longer and the candle can be burned for a shorter period of time to get the same performance.
Why are some fragrances stronger than others?
Fragrances and how we perceive them can vary accordingly to many different factors, the fragrance style and how the perfumer constructs the fragrance, including the fragrance notes used and their concentration. Our mood, level of alertness or the environment in which we smell them also play a big part in how we experience a fragrance. A fragrance we smell in the morning at 9am may be perceived differently between 1pm and 3pm, when our body’s circadian rhythm is at its most sleepy. This is why we often crave coffee and sugar at this time for a pick me up, as our body’s internal clock and senses slow down. Perfumers will always evaluate fragrances before midday for this reason.
Some fragrances act like a cloud, building over time in a room and lingering, these are often more powdery, feminine fragrances, that use musk or light sugared candy notes - they act like a beautiful scenic backdrop. Whilst other fragrances have concentrations of strong, punchy fragrance notes, these vivacious fragrances are lively and outgoing, they demand your attention; fragrances with caramel, citrus and tropical fruity notes fall into this family.
Why do I need to burn my 300g candle for more than 1 hour and less than 4?
If you burn for less than one hour the wax may not be melted all the way to the outside of the candle. Once this happens the candle can form a pattern of tunnelling which leaves unmelted wax around the edges, may reduce the overall fragrance throw and eventually may drown the wicks so the candle will not stay alight. If you burn for longer than four hours, the candle wick can become quite long and may fall onto the side of the glass, or heat the glass up.
Why do you say to stop burning with 10mm of wax left?
We ask that you stop burning your candle at the 10mm wax mark as lower than this there may not be enough wax left in the candle to absorb the heat of the flame, which can lead the glass to becoming very hot and/or cracking.
Why is there a black residue forming around the rim of my candle jar?
A candle wick requires trimming between burns or if the candle has been burning continuously for two or more hours. The wicks should be trimmed to about 7mm from the wax, only then will the candle stop emitting carbon - the black residue. If there is black residue on the glass of your candle jar, use a dry piece of paper towel and wipe clean.
Why has the Fragrance Diffuser liquid changed colour?
The fragrance diffuser solution will oxidise after it has been opened. The perfume in the diffuser interacts with oxygen which can affect its colour – just like a sliced apple changes colour when exposed to the air. This shouldn't cause any problems with the performance.
