There’s something truly magical about lighting a candle, especially as the days get shorter and the air crisper. But let’s face it - nothing is more frustrating than a candle that doesn’t burn evenly, or worse, one that fades too quickly. At Omni®, we believe in creating fragrances that fill your room from the first burn to the last flicker, ensuring every moment is as aromatic as the next. Our candles have been created to burn cleanly without tunnelling, delivering symphonies of scent throughout your home.
Here’s how to unlock the full potential of your Omni® candles and ensure they burn brighter and better - every time.
1. The Science Behind the Perfect Candle Burn
You may have heard the term "clean burn" thrown around, but what does it actually mean? A clean burn refers to the candle’s ability to burn evenly without leaving excess wax along the sides of the jar. At Omni®, our blend of rapeseed and coconut wax is chosen for its superior performance. It burns longer and cleaner than both traditional paraffin and even soy wax. Unlike soy, which can sometimes cause tunnelling or a weaker scent throw, our blend provides a strong, consistent fragrance, minimizes soot, and ensures a healthier burn. Plus, it’s renewable, eco-friendly, and safe for your home, delivering a luxury experience with sustainability at its core.
2. Trim the Wick, Extend the Life
It’s a small detail, but trimming the wick can make all the difference! A wick that’s too long creates a higher flame, leading to faster burning and, worse, excess soot. Before each burn, trim your candle’s wick to about 6mm - this helps control the size of the flame and extends the life of your candle. For example - A long wick can cause a flickering flame or excess smoke, which reduces the quality of your burn. Trimming ensures your candle burns evenly, avoids black soot, and helps you get the most out of your Omni® candle.
Pro Tip: Keep a pair of wick trimmers on hand for quick, clean cuts every time. Check out our Candle Care Kit to help with extending the life of your candle.
3. Get Even: The Importance of a First Burn
The first time you light your candle is crucial. Let it burn until the entire surface of the wax melts into an even pool, which can take about 2 hours for our Omni® candles. We’ve perfected our formula to prevent tunnelling, but this initial burn ensures optimal performance and maximises fragrance. Trust us - every note will fill your room, creating the ultimate sensory experience from the very first flicker to the last.
Pro Tip: Avoid extinguishing the candle until the top layer is fully melted.
4. Keep It Draft-Free
Where you place your candle matters more than you think! Drafts from windows, doors, or fans can cause uneven burning and faster depletion of your candle. Always light your Omni® candle in a draft-free area to ensure it burns evenly and for longer.
Pro Tip: Ensure your candle is placed at least 12 inches away from anything flammable, like books, plants, or curtains. This helps prevent accidental fires and keeps your candle's environment safe.
5. Reuse and Refill: The Eco-Friendly Way
Did you know that Omni® offers candle refills? Once your candle has burned through, don’t throw away the beautiful jar. Simply clean it out and pop in one of our refills to keep the luxurious fragrance going without the waste. It’s our way of offering sustainable luxury.
Pro Tip: When your candle’s final flicker has taken place - Pour the remaining melted wax into an oil burner or a small dish. Once it solidifies, snap it into pieces and tuck them into your drawers or closet. This way, the scent lingers on, infusing your socks and clothes with a touch of luxury - prolonging the symphony of fragrance long after the candle is gone.
