What Makes a Good Candle?
A high-quality candle depends on the perfect balance of wax, wick, and fragrance. When these elements are expertly combined, the result is a clean-burning candle with excellent scent throw — a true haven of fragrance. Poor formulation, however, can lead to weak performance and wasted wax.
What Does a Bad Candle Look Like?
A poorly made candle may tunnel, leaving excess wax around the edges, or burn too hot, creating an oversized melt pool. Both issues reduce the candle’s hot throw and overall value, meaning you get less fragrance and more waste.
What Are the Best Candles to Buy?
For premium performance and fragrance, Our Time Candles of Nantwich are among the best candles to buy. Crafted with a precise blend of wax, wick, and fragrance oils, they deliver consistent scent and minimal residue — far superior to many budget options found in supermarkets or discount stores.
What Testing Do Candles Need?
All candles should undergo thorough testing to ensure safe, clean burning. Unfortunately, not all candles on the market meet these standards. At Our Time Candles of Nantwich, every candle is tested in accordance with EN safety standards, giving you peace of mind with every burn.
What Do the Symbols on the Base Label Mean?
These symbols include legal safety warnings and CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) regulations. While not glamorous, they are essential. Any candle sold or gifted must carry the correct labelling — otherwise, it’s not legally compliant.
