FAQs
Things people ask us.
Mostly about wax, burning and whether it is a shame to light them. It is not.
Are these actually meant to be burned?
Yes. They photograph like objects, but they are candles with a proper wick and a proper melt pool. The flowers nearest the wick are meant to soften and melt in — that is designed, not a fault. Plenty of people keep one unlit as a piece, and that is fine too.
What is the wax?
Soy, and only soy — coloured with plant-derived pigment. No paraffin, no beeswax, no synthetic wax dye, and no bought-in moulds. The sculpting comes from working the wax at the right temperature rather than from stiffening it with anything else.
Can I choose the scent?
Yes — everything is poured to order, so the scent is picked on the product page before you add it to your bag. Urlis and floral pieces come in rose, vanilla, lavender, sandalwood or jasmine; desserts in chocolate or strawberry; and the two shell-shaped pieces in ocean breeze. Scents are kept light on purpose: these live in rooms that already smell of something, and a candle shouting over dinner is one thing too many.
How long do they burn?
It depends on the shape, and the burn time is listed on every product page. Tealights are the shortest; the large urlis run longest. Burning two to three hours at a time gets you the most out of any of them.
Why does mine look slightly different from the photograph?
Because someone piped it by hand, one petal at a time, in about fifteen minutes before the wax set. Shape, colour depth and petal placement vary between pieces. The photograph is a sibling, not a clone.
How do I stop it tunnelling?
Give it a full hour the first time you light it, so the top layer melts all the way to the edge. Wax remembers its first burn. Trim the wick to 5mm before every burn after that. The full version is on candle care.
How do I order?
Add what you want to your bag and tap Review your order. That gives you a summary with a reference code — screenshot it, send it to us as an Instagram DM, and we reply with the total including delivery and how to pay. Card and UPI checkout is being built and will open here soon.
Can I send it straight to someone as a gift?
Yes, and it is what most of these are for. A hand-written card is free, up to 200 characters, and no invoice ever goes in the box — so the person receiving it never sees the price. Tell us the delivery address and the message.
Do you take bulk or corporate orders?
From twenty pieces up. Lead time depends on the shape — tealights and small urlis are quick, anything hand-piped takes longer. Message us with your date and we will tell you honestly if we can hit it.
Is the vessel reusable?
The brass urlis and ceramic bowls, yes. Once you are down to the last 10mm of wax, stop burning, let it cool completely, and the remainder lifts out with warm water and a little patience. Then it is a bowl.
