Craftsman's advice
We hope you are already enjoying the sweet ambiance created by your new Atelier Louis scented candle or mist. Here are some tips to get the most out of it.
Scented candle
Take care of your candle
Find the perfect place
Place your candle on a flat surface, away from drafts and direct sunlight. To best diffuse the fragrance, find a central place for it in your room.
light your candle
I strongly advise you to light your candle with a match for two reasons. The first, you will be much more precise and you will avoid blackening the glass and accidentally burning the wax.
Take your time
Leave your candle burning for periods of one to two hours. This will prevent the formation of a well around the wick and allow your candle to melt evenly. For the first combustion, I advise you to let your scented candle burn for two hours.
Extinguish your scented candle
To extinguish your candle, I advise you to use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Wait for the wax to cool and harden to reseal your candle.
Do not use the lid to extinguish your candle. This could damage the wax + perfume mixture and the lid. By creating a closed area, you allow the end-of-combustion smoke to inadvertently scent the still liquid wax.
Take care of the wick
Before each burn, cut your wick to a length of about 5 to 10 millimeters. This allows the candle to burn well and thus avoid black smoke. Also check that the wick remains centered and vertical during the various ignitions.
Vegetal mist
Take care of your mist
Test first
Test on an unimportant fabric before spraying on your curtain or sofa, the mist may leave a stain. Spray at least 50 cm from surfaces (textiles, objects, walls etc...).
Two sprays are enough
Two sprays are enough to perfume a room of 10m2.
Optimal experience
For the best experience, spray 2-3 times a day. Ventilate your room before each new spray.
