Gifting FAQs & Expert Buying Tips
Everything you need to know about Scent Nation's personalised soy candles: ingredients, engraving, delivery and care.
What makes Scent Nation candles a premium choice for home fragrance?
Scent Nation candles are hand-poured in NSW, Australia using 100% natural, sustainable soy wax. Formulated with maximum fragrance loads (Triple Scented) and clean, lead-free cotton wicks, they offer a clean burn time of over 40 hours (Medium 225g) or over 50 hours (Large 285g) with no paraffin. We offer a stunning range of personalised, funny, and designer-inspired scents to suit every style.
Can I burn Scent Nation candles around pets?
We don’t use essential oils in our fragrances, but any open flame needs care around pets: burn within sight and out of reach of paws and tails. Ventilate the room; birds are especially sensitive.
What candle safety precautions should I take in my home?
To burn your candle safely, always light it in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow. Ensure the candle is placed on a heat-resistant, stable surface situated high enough in the room so that children, pets, or sweeping paws cannot reach or knock it over. Always trim the cotton wick to 5mm before lighting.
