How We Pour

Every candle passes through the same five stages: blending, pouring, curing, trimming and checking.

Blending happens by weight, never by eye — fragrance oil is folded into the melted wax at exactly the temperature where it binds best. Pouring is done by hand into vessels warmed first, so the wax sets smooth against the glass or glaze. Curing takes two weeks on open shelves; it is the step most makers skip and the one that decides how strongly a candle throws its scent. Trimming sets the wick to 5 mm. Checking is the last step before packing, and it is where roughly one candle in twenty goes back to be re-poured.
