Don't Eat My Candle FAQs

What are 'Don't Eat My Candle' candles made from?

Each candle is proudly hand-poured in Australia using 100% soy wax, which means even those ridiculously realistic garnishes are made of wax. They are infused with designer-inspired fine fragrances to make your space smell like pure luxury. Just remember, they’re for burning, not brunching.

What are the sizes and burn times for the candles?

Our cocktail candles come in two sizes for your burning pleasure. The Double Pour is 220g and offers around 40 hours of burn time, while the Triple Pour is a more generous 310g for an even longer-lasting scent experience. Because let's be honest, one serving is never enough.

How should I care for my candle to get the best burn?

To get the most out of your candle, trim the wick to 5mm before every single burn. Try not to burn it for more than three hours at a time, and stop using it when there's about 1cm of wax left. Follow these rules to avoid any unhinged moments and keep things burning beautifully.
