ABOUT THE BURN:
Our New Wax Blend
We listened and we didn’t judge! 

The iconic Boy Smells candle just got an updated wax blend. The new formulation was designed to enhance your fragrance experience (The throw! These candles fill your entire home), reduce the risk of tunneling (they burn even, baby!) and eliminate sooting while maintaining a perfect flame (heart eyes). 

Now vegan and non-GMO, our new wax is made with US farmed soy blend with an estimated burn time of 50 hours.

Suggested Usage
- Prior to each lighting, trim the wick to 1/4” for a clean and smoke-free burn.
- On your first light, allow the entire surface of wax to melt — Minimum of 3 hours. 
- Ensure the wick is centered before every burn
- Never let it burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Discontinue use when there is only 1/4" wax left in the vessel

Recycling Instructions
- The exterior packaging is fully recyclable
- Glass vessel can be reused as a vase, pencil holder, glass or a container for whatever you to use it for.

 

 

Candle care
  • On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge (about 1 hour per inch of width) so it doesn’t tunnel.
  • Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn for a clean, even flame.
  • Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, away from drafts.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, and stop when ½ inch of wax remains.
