30th Birthday Gift for Gamers | Gaming Candle

Essential oils are wonderful for aromatherapy, but candles are a high-heat application. Many essential oils have lower flash points and can be difficult to formulate consistently in wax.

To prioritise safety, stability, and reliable scent throw, we use candle-grade fragrance oils engineered specifically for burning.

Approx. Burn Time: 

225g MEDIUM JAR over 40 hrs

285g LARGE JAR over 50 hrs

• Wax: 100% soy wax: No additives No Paraffin, No Palm Oil, No artificial colouring
• Fragrance: premium candle-grade fragrance oils that are phthalate-free and paraben-free-giving you a clean burning and pet-safe candle.
• Compliance: supplier-confirmed IFRA Standards compliant for intended candle use
• Wick: cotton-based, lead-free wick
  Clean burn: paraffin-free and designed for a cleaner burn experience compared with many paraffin candles
• Pet households: burn in a well-ventilated area and keep pets away from smoke

Tunneling is caused by 'Wax Memory.' If a candle is extinguished before the melt pool reaches the edges of the jar on the first burn, the wax 'remembers' this ring and will tunnel down that same diameter next time. To prevent this, always burn your Scent Nation candle for 3-4 hours on the first light. If tunneling has already occurred, you can wrap the top of the jar in aluminum foil while burning to reflect heat inward and melt the edges.

Black soot is the result of incomplete combustion, often caused by a wick that is too long or a drafty environment. However, the composition of the wax is the biggest factor. Paraffin (petroleum-based) candles naturally produce sticky, black carbon. Scent Nation candles use 100% natural soy wax with no additives, which creates a significantly cleaner burn. If you see smoke, simply trim the wick to 5mm.

In the candle industry, a 'mushroom' (carbon cap) on the wick is actually a positive sign of a high-quality, Triple Scented candle. It indicates the wick is pulling up a high volume of fragrance oil. Unlike low-scent candles, this shows the system is working to disperse maximum scent. Simply trim the mushroom to 5mm before every relight for the perfect burn.

Hooray, a brand new candle!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of lighting it up for the
very first time.

However, it's important to perform the first burn correctly to ensure the optimal performance of your candle.

To do this, allow the wax to melt to the edge of the jar, creating an even melt pool before snuffing the flame. This typically takes about 3-4 hours to achieve a full melt pool.

We recommend burning your candle for 3-4 hours but never longer than 4 hours during its
first use to release its wonderful fragrance's full potential and create the optimal candle memory for your next burn. This will also prevent the candle
from tunnelling.

When your candle arrives, the wick will already be pre-trimmed by us. However, it's important to
continue trimming the wick in between uses to maintain a healthy flame and even burn.

If the wick is too long, you may notice that it begins to mushroom, which is completely normal but can cause the candle to burn faster. This is caused by
excess carbon build-up, so it's best to keep the wick trimmed to approximately 5mm to 7mm. 

If you notice the flame getting bigger, extinguish the flame, trim the wick, and relight the candle. This will keep the life of the candle longer at the same time keeping safe all the time.
