What type of wax do you use?
I use a paraffin based blended wax specially formulated for container candles.

How long do the candles last?
The candles are consumed at a rate of approximately 10- 12+ hours per ounce, so the 2.5 oz. candle will last approximately 25-30 hours. 4 oz. candle lasts 40-50 hours. The 6 oz. candle lasts 60-75 hours, and so on.

Is there lead in the wicks?
No way! I only use lead-free wicks!

How are the candles scented/ how much scent is used?
The scent is blended throughout the wax before it is poured, so the candle isn't just scented on the top layer; it is scented throughout. The maximum amount of scent that the wax will hold is used. I love RICHLY scented candles, so there's no skimping on the scent!

How large of an area will the candle scent?
Depending on the conditions (temperature, openness of the space, location of air vents or a fan, etc.) the candle can scent a small space, such a a bathroom, very richly, or a large space, up to 700 sq. ft., with a lighter, yet still pleasing amount of scent.

What scents are available?
I have an incredible selection of scrumptious scents!: Almond Amaretto, Apples in Autumn, Apple Cider, Candy Berry, Cherry Kiss, Cafe Mocha, French Vanilla Cafe, Grape, Innocent Powder Kiss, Juicy Watermelon, Lavender Romance, Morning Coffee, Mulberry Madness, Orange Cream, Peppermint, Pine Mist, Pumpkin Pie, Spice, Strawberry Fields, and Yuletide Bayberry. If you don't see one of these scents listed on Etsy, just let me know & I'll list that scent ASAP!

Do you make custom candles/ take custom & quantity orders?
Yes! I can make a custom candle for you. Just pick the size, color, scent, container, etc., and I'll make the candle(s) for you! I also welcome quantity orders. A popular custom/ quantity order is the 4 oz. innocent powder kiss candle (available in pink, blue, green, yellow, purple) with a custom label for baby shower favors

What else do I need to know?
The candles make a great bathroom scent when you have company over (no need for air freshener, if you know what I mean). They're great for small spaces! Because the candles are a smaller size, you're not committed to the candle and scent "forever," like with larger candles. You get a great scent in a compact candle for a reasonable price! These candles make a great hostess, housewarming, birthday, special occasion, or just because gift. If you have further questions, please e-mail me at diana@quitelikehome.com
