Sumptuous, rich, deep. Notes of vanilla, spicy rich tonka and nutmeg, hand-blended with soothing, calming Bergamot essential oil to balance. Pure luxury. The first scent in our collection, and still a firm favourite. --- Quite Kate Studio candles are made to order. This maintains our commitment to low waste and avoids excess production of our goods. Your candle will be poured by hand on the day you place your order, and then allowed to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before it is carefully packaged and sent to you. Our candles contain only pure aromatherapy-grade essential oils and the highest-quality fragrance oils. They are made with an environmentally friendly soy wax blend. The essential oils in our candles are sourced from suppliers who forge partnerships with sustainable growers and farmers. Every candle is plastic-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. Dusk does not contain PEGs, phthalates, CMRs, silicon or parabens. Medium candles are made with cotton wicks, large candles are made with wood wicks. Medium - 140g / 5oz Large - 260g / 9.2oz --- CANDLE CARE As soy wax is a totally natural material, it can sometimes show a few cosmetic differences (to the surface of the candle, before/after burning) to other types of wax such as paraffin, and can be sensitive to room temperature changes, but these do not affect the scent or life of the candle at all. The first time you burn your candle, allow the wax to melt all the way across the width of the jar. This might take a few hours but is important as it ensures long candle life and continued even burning. Wax has a ‘memory’ of its first melt and will continue to melt in this way afterward. Try to keep the wax clear of any debris such as burnt wick pieces. After extinguishing the candle and allowing the wax to harden, trim the wick to approximately 4 mm before lighting it again. This will stop the flame from burning too high and too hot and causing soot to build up on the glass and in the wax.
