How to Use Aroma Candles Correctly & Simple Tips to Make Them Last Longer

アロマキャンドルの正しい使い方と長持ちさせるための小さなコツ

 

Aroma candles soothe the mind with both fragrance and warm light. However, incorrect usage can lead to weak scent throw or tunneling, where only the center melts down. Here are the essential ways to enjoy your aroma candle properly, along with small tips to extend its life.

Our AOKURA EMBERIS candles are made with 100% soy wax, offering clean burning, a natural scent profile, and an eco-friendly composition.


Basic Ways to Use Aroma Candles

1. Burn for 1–2 hours on the first use

Allow the wax surface to melt evenly to the edges.
This prevents tunneling and ensures clean, full usage until the end.

2. Trim the wick to 5–7 mm

A long wick creates large flames, soot, and faster wax consumption.
Trim the wick slightly before each burn for a clean and steady flame.

3. Ideal burning time: 2–3 hours

Long continuous burning overheats the jar, reducing scent quality.
For the best aroma experience, burn for 2–3 hours at a time.

4. Use a lid or snuffer to extinguish

Blowing out the flame creates soot and can alter the fragrance.
Use the lid to cut off oxygen or use a candle snuffer for clean extinguishing.


Tips to Better Enjoy Your Aroma Candle

  • Close the room door to deepen the scent
    Smaller, enclosed spaces allow the fragrance to spread more effectively.

  • Ventilate lightly before use
    Fresh air prevents the aroma from feeling heavy or stuffy.

  • Enjoy “cold throw” without lighting
    100% soy wax releases a soft scent even without burning—perfect for no-flame environments.

  • Avoid drafts
    Airflow from air conditioners or windows causes unstable flames and uneven burning.


Why AOKURA EMBERIS Uses 100% Soy Wax

  • Clean burning with very low toxins

  • Soft, natural fragrance diffusion

  • Lower melting point = safer use

  • Plant-based and environmentally friendly

Soy wax is ideal for aroma candles, enhancing both the scent and the overall atmosphere of your space.


Conclusion

The way you use your aroma candle greatly affects its fragrance, longevity, and overall experience.
With just a few simple tips, you can enjoy a cleaner, more relaxing candle life.
