Infused with the essence of the diverse flowers bees pollinate, Odoratus candles offer a distinct experience.

Some notes about our candles

In our candle-making journey, we chose the natural beauty of combining wood wicks and beeswax, along with carefully added fragrances. While it’s a pairing that offers a warm, beautiful aesthetic and a gentle crackling sound, this combination comes with its challenges.

Beeswax, being a hard wax, is difficult to work with, and the wood wicks demand just the right balance to burn steadily. Yet, it’s this very complexity that makes our candles so special — each one is a unique creation that fills your space with warmth and fragrance.

Our candles are genuinely one-of-a-kind.

No two candles burn the same, and they boast a powerful initial first burn as the flame propels through the wick. It will decrease its intensity after a few minutes. Some cracks may appear between uses as the beeswax tells its delightful story.

With that in mind, please follow our tips for safety and optimal candle care:

Our Tips for an Optimal Experience

Wick Care:

  1. Before every burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch or 5mm.
  2. Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris.

Burning cycles:

  1. Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the jar, which will take approximately 2 hours, to prevent tunneling.
  2. Limit each session to no more than 4 hours - don’t burn a candle all the way down in one cycle.

Candle Placement and Lighting:

  1. Always leave a distance of approximately 10cm or 4 inches between candles.
  2. Always use a candle holder specifically designed for candle use.
  3. Use long matches or a long-reach lighter when lighting a candle.
  4. Light the candle in a well-ventilated room, but avoid exposing it to air currents.

Candle Safety

  1. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  2. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.
  3. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
  4. Don’t touch or move the candle until completely cooled down.
  5. Never light a candle and use it as a night light or while you may fall asleep.
  6. Never use water to extinguish a candle - hot wax may splatter and the thermal shock might break the glass container.
  7. Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly - use a candle snuffer.
