Quick Answer

The Voluspa Wildflowers Classic Candle blends Native Wildflowers, Golden Poppy, and Soft Citrus for a medium-strong scent throw. To get the full burn time and even wax pool, follow the steps below.

What Makes the Wildflowers Scent Unique

This candle captures a field of wild blooms with a bright citrus lift. The top notes of Soft Citrus and Blue Agave give way to a floral heart of Golden Poppy and Ambrosia, grounded by Springing Herbs. It's a balanced, uplifting fragrance that works well in living rooms or bedrooms without being overpowering.

Burn Time and Scent Throw Expectations

The Classic Candle size typically burns for 40-50 hours when cared for properly. The scent throw is medium-strong — noticeable in a standard room but not cloying. For a stronger projection, place it in a smaller space or let the wax pool reach the edges before extinguishing.

Step-by-Step Guide to Maximize Burn Time and Scent Throw

  1. Trim the Wick to 1/4 Inch Before Each Burn: Use a wick trimmer or scissors to cut the wick. A long wick creates a tall, sooty flame that burns wax too fast and can produce smoke. A clean trim prevents mushrooming and uneven melting.
  2. Let the Wax Pool Reach the Jar Edge on First Burn: Burn the candle for 3-4 hours (or until the entire top layer is liquid). If you stop too early, a tunnel forms and wastes wax around the edges. The first burn sets the pattern for all future burns.
  3. Burn in Sessions of 3-4 Hours, No Longer: After the wax pool is fully melted, extinguish the candle. Burning beyond 4 hours can overheat the glass and cause the wick to drift, reducing burn time. Set a timer if needed — longer burns don't mean more fragrance.
  4. Keep the Candle Away from Drafts and Direct Sunlight: Drafts cause the flame to flicker, leading to uneven melting and soot. Sunlight can fade the wax color and alter the fragrance over time. A stable spot ensures a steady burn and consistent scent throw.
  5. Extinguish Safely and Re-Center the Wick: Use a snuffer or dip the wick into wax to avoid smoke. After the wax cools, gently push the wick back to the center so the next burn starts evenly. Centering the wick prevents lopsided melting.
