Why We Don’t Use Essential Oils
Why We Don’t Use Essential Oils
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.

Candle care for best scent throw
Candle care for best scent throw
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.

Mosquito Candle Guide
Indoor & Outdoor: One Universal Standard
Mozzie Guard is made for the Australian indoor–outdoor lifestyle — the same candle, the same standard, wherever you light it.
Most “outdoor mosquito candles” are designed only for outside use and often have a harsh smell. Mozzie Guard is poured to one universal standard so you can use it indoors or outdoors while keeping a luxury scent profile.
What that means for you:
Consistent burn experience indoors and outdoors
Luxury home-fragrance scent (not the typical outdoor candle smell)
Made with 100% soy wax
No citronella, no eucalyptus, no essential oils
Scent profile:
Zesty lemon • Persian lime • jasmine • vanilla bean
How to use Mozzie Guard outdoors (best practice)
or best results outdoors, use it like this:
Light it 15–20 minutes before you sit outside
This gives the scent time to build in the air.
Place it close to where you’re sitting
Put it on a stable, heat-safe surface near your outdoor table or seating area (not on the ground where it can be knocked).
Shelter it from strong wind
Wind disperses scent and can make the flame unstable. If it’s breezy, move it to a more sheltered (but not enclosed) spot.
Open spaces may need more than one scent source
If your area is large and exposed, start with one candle near the seating zone first. If it’s very open or windy, a second candle can help build more scent in the space.
Honest expectations:
Outdoor conditions affect any scented candle — wind, open space size, nearby water, and peak mozzie activity (often around dawn and dusk).

Burn tips, candle care & FAQs
Candle care (cleaner burn + better scent throw):
Trim the wick to about 5mm before each burn
On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the jar edges to prevent tunnelling
Burn 2–4 hours at a time (avoid burning longer than 4 hours)
Keep away from drafts for a steadier flame
Stop use when about 10mm of wax remains
Quick comparison:
Mozzie Guard is a luxury citrus soy candle with lemon, lime, jasmine and vanilla bean — designed for indoor and outdoor ambience.
Typical citronella outdoor candles often have a strong citronella smell and are commonly positioned for outdoor-only use.
