How do I use my diffuser?
We package our diffusers carefully to ensure that the oil from the diffuser does not spill. There is a small note enclosed in the box with simple instructions to use your diffuser.
Instructions:
- Remove the stopper from the bottle of fragrant oil.
- Place the reeds into the bottle and allow them to absorb the oil.
Can I buy diffuser refills?
Currently, we do not offer refills in any of the ranges.
How often should I flip the diffuser reeds?
Never. Our reeds are made of natural cotton or timber that do not require flipping and provide long lasting fragrance for their entire lifespan.
Where should I display my candle or diffuser?
We recommend that your candles and diffusers are kept out of prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight as the intense Australian heat may cause your candle to melt or your diffusers to discolour.
What are the safety recommendations for candle burning?
Always burn candles well away from drafts, other heat sources, and anything flammable. Make sure burning candles are out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. For more information visit our candle care page.
How should I burn my candle safely.
When you first burn your candle, burn it until the wax pool reaches the edge of the glass. This will ensure your candle always burns flat and you get the most from your candle. Ensure your wicks are upright and trimmed to 6mm (¼ inch) before use.
Do not burn the candle for more than 3 hours at a time. Stop burning when 13mm of unmelted wax remains in the bottom of the glass of your candle.
- Ensure candle is off, wax is solid, and jar is cold before handling.
- Never move a burning candle.
- Always place your candle on a heat resistant, level surface.
- Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
Do not leave your burning candle unattended.
Never use water to extinguish a candle.
How can I make my candles last longer?
Before every use, trim your wick to allow only 5 millimeters above the wax.
On the first burn, allow your candle to burn for 3-4 hours maximum. Extinguish the candle allowing the wax to re-solidify. After this you may continue to burn your candle for 3-4 hour periods at a time.
