Wax melts slowly and releases its fragrance as it warms. That is why a candle is judged by its first lighting: if the wax does not melt all the way to the edges, it will tunnel and never release its full fragrance.
260 g for 45 to 50 hours of burning. The fragrance comes with a certificate of conformity with IFRA standards issued by the supplier, for use in candles.
On the first lighting, let it burn until the wax has melted evenly to the edges. Allow two to three hours. This is the only step that really matters.
Trim the wick to 5 mm before each use: a wick that is too long smokes and soots the glass.
Do not let it burn for more than three hours at a time. Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and anything that could catch fire.

Open flame · Children · Pets
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, away from curtains, books, and anything that can catch fire.
Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface: the glass heats up during burning and remains hot after being extinguished.
Avoid drafts, which cause the flame to flicker, blacken the glass, and burn the wax unevenly.
Stop using the candle when there is one centimeter of wax left at the bottom.
The fragrance contains allergenic substances, including eugenol. The full list is on the product label.

What does our fragrance trail contain?
Cedar
Heart notes: straight wood, dry warmth. The backbone of the fragrance.
Sandalwood
Heart notes: a creamy velvetiness that softens the cedar and prevents it from being dry
Patchouli
Base notes: earthy depth, the kind that sustains the trail over time.
Guaiac wood
Base notes: smoky wood, darker than cedar.
WHAT WE CAN PROVE
Each fragrance is accompanied by a certificate of conformity with IFRA standards, issued by the supplier and updated with each amendment.
The certificate specifies the usage limits by product category. For the candle category, Super Cedar is authorized without concentration restrictions.
Our wax is a blend of 90% soy wax and 2% beeswax. No paraffin, no added coloring.
These are the figures from the product safety data sheet, not an approximate formula. Beeswax is also why our candles are not vegan, and we prefer to be upfront about it.
Most homes sell a candle, or a diffuser. At ESSENCE 1989, each fragrance is available in both, made from the same formula same ingredients, same proportions.
The candle for evenings, the diffuser for continuous use. Nothing to match.
LIGHT IT, BREATHE IT
Let the wax melt to the edges of the glass for two to three hours. That’s the only step that really matters.
At 5 mm before each use. A drill bit that is too long smokes and blackens the glass.
Beyond this, the wax overheats and the fragrance deteriorates. Let it cool before relighting.
When there is one centimeter of wax left at the bottom, the candle has done its job.
