At Aureum London, we invite you to slow down and embrace the golden moments that restore balance and beauty. You have chosen a piece of quiet luxury, hand crafted for presence and well-being, and we want your candle to offer the same sense of calm. With a little attention and care, your candle will burn beautifully; nurture it, and it will illuminate your space with warmth, serenity, and quiet opulence.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CANDLE

A simple ritual designed to gently scent your space with quiet, lasting elegance

  • Trim to Perfection

    Before each burn, trim the wick to 5mm. This prevents soot, promotes an even melt pool, and ensures a clean, elegant burn. If the wick begins to lean or mushroom, extinguish the flame, allow the wax to settle, trim back to 5mm, and relight.

  • Keep It Centred

    If the wick shifts while the wax is molten, gently nudge it back to the centre using a suitable tool. Allow the candle to fully solidify before relighting. A centred wick ensures an even flame and a smooth, balanced burn.

  • Set the Memory

    On the first burn, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel. This may take 2 to 4 hours and prevents your candle from tunnelling, ensuring an even burn throughout the life of your candle.

  • Burn Beautifully

    Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time. Re-trim the wick before relighting and allow the candle to cool and solidify fully between burns.

  • Perfect Positioning

    Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from mirrors, photo frames, or delicate finishes; cold surfaces (to prevent thermal shock); draughts that may disturb the flame; curtains, blinds, or anything that could come into contact with the flame. Allow at least 10cm between burning candles.

  • Protect the Wax Pool

    Keep the wax free from wick trimmings, matches, and debris to maintain a clean, smooth burn.

  • Stay Present

    Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish before leaving the room or going to sleep. Keep away from children and pets.

  • Embrace the Moment

    Now relax, slow the moment, and let your Aureum London candle invite you back into the Art of Now.
