How to Use

Trim the wick to approximately 6 mm before lighting and remove any loose trimmings or debris. Place the candle on a level, fire-resistant surface, away from draughts and flammable objects. Keep the flame in sight and burn for no longer than four hours at a time.

Do not use the supplied lid to extinguish the flame. Let the container cool fully before handling, keep it away from children and pets, and stop using it when approximately 6 mm of wax remains. Always follow the instructions on your candle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this candle help with lingering smoke smells?

Modest & Co markets its candles for odour control, including smoke smells. They are designed to help tackle unwanted odours while adding fragrance. Results depend on the room, airflow and source of the smell. Use alongside ventilation and cleaning, particularly when smells have settled into fabrics.

How is it different from an ordinary scented candle?

Alongside fragrance, Modest & Co includes ingredients intended to neutralise odours. This gives the candle an odour-control purpose as well as providing a scent for your room.

Does coconut-apricot wax mean every candle smells like coconut?

No. Coconut-apricot describes the wax blend. Each fragrance has its own scent profile, so check the notes for the option you choose.

How long can I burn it at a time?

The manufacturer recommends a maximum of four hours per session. This is the limit for one burn, rather than the candle’s total lifespan. Never leave it burning unattended or while you sleep.

Do I need to trim the wick every time?

Check the wick before each burn and trim it to approximately 6 mm, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Wait until the candle has cooled and remove any trimmings before relighting.

Can I use the lid to put it out?

No. Modest & Co specifically advises against using the supplied lid to extinguish the flame. Follow the instructions supplied with your candle.

Can I burn all the wax at the bottom?

No. Stop using the candle when approximately 6 mm of wax remains, as instructed by the manufacturer.
