Naroma candles are meticulously crafted to burn completely to the bottom without waste.
To avoid tunneling, ensure the candle burns for at least 2-3 hours each time until a full melt pool is formed before extinguishing it. This practice ensures that no memory wax hole is created.
What Are The Essential Tips For Caring For My Candle?
To ensure optimal performance, trim the wick to approximately ¼ cm to prevent smoke.
Allow the candle to burn for at least 2-3 hours during the first use to avoid tunneling.
Additionally, never leave a burning candle unattended for safety.
Single vs. Double Wicks: Impact on Burn
The larger the diameter of a candle, the thicker the wick required.
For beeswax candles, a double wick is often necessary to ensure optimal performance. This design not only reduces soot but also enhances the scent throw.
At Naroma, we prioritise safety and quality by using lead-free cotton wicks, ensuring a clean burn with minimal soot production.
When lighting our candles, please ignite both wicks.

Differences Between Essential Oils and Fragrances
Essential Oils: Pure plant extracts obtained through steam distillation, composed entirely of natural ingredients. They are hypoallergenic and have therapeutic properties.
Fragrances: Synthetic, chemical compositions designed to mimic scents. They can be irritating and potentially carcinogenic when burned.
How to Distinguish Fragrance Candles vs. Essential Oil Candles?
Begin by selecting candles with clearly stated ingredients. If natural materials are used, sellers will highlight this - an obvious advantage. Check the ingredient list for either fragrances or essential oils.
Fragrances tend to have a pungent scent that may cause nasal and skin sensitivities, while essential oils offer a milder, more pleasant aroma.
Common Fragrances and Reasons to Avoid
Common fragrances include rose, jasmine, white orchid, plumeria, musk, sea salt, baby powder, cotton, coffee, vanilla, apple, and pumpkin.
These fragrances are typically synthetic and not derived from plants because it is either impossible to extract them naturally or because of the high costs associated with natural extraction.
When burnt, these synthetic fragrances may release harmful chemicals, which can contribute to indoor air pollution and may cause allergic reactions or respiratory issues in sensitive individuals.
For a healthier alternative, consider using candles made with pure essential oils, which offer natural scents without the associated risks.

Why Are Fragrances Widely Used in Candles?
Taking rose as an example, the price of essential oil can reach CAD 60/ml or higher, while fragrance oils can be as low as CAD 0.20/ml, resulting in a staggering price difference of up to 300 times.
If a 220g candle requires 10ml of rose essential oil, the cost would exceed CAD 600. This raises the question: would any seller opt to produce such a candle?

Does Naroma Use Fragrances?
Not a single drop - this is a fundamental principle of our brand.
Given the pervasive presence of chemicals in our environment, we suggest that using candles containing artificial and harmful materials for relaxation and self-care is counterproductive.

How Do Naroma Candles Achieve a Complete Burn?
Naroma candles are meticulously crafted to burn completely to the bottom without waste.
We conduct over 1,000 hours of rigorous burn testing, experimenting with variations in wick sizes, essential oil loads, vessel combinations, and more. This careful process ensures that each candle burns evenly to the bottom without waste, honouring the precious natural resources such as beeswax and essential oils.
Why Do The Colour Of The Naroma Candles Vary?
Our candles are completely handcrafted with a high composition of beeswax, which naturally presents a warm yellow hue.
Color may vary between batches, reflecting the natural qualities of the beeswax.
My Candle Was Detached From The Brass Container. What Happened?
For Naroma candles, it is normal for the wax to slightly detach from the brass container due to the high composition of beeswax, which can contract as it cools.
This does not affect the candle's performance or burn quality.
In fact, this indicates that you are enjoying a candle crafted with a significant amount of natural beeswax, which provides benefits such as air purification.
Why Are Naroma Candles Priced Differently?
At Naroma, we exclusively use premium beeswax, soy wax, and pure essential oils in our products. The price difference in our candles reflects mainly the careful selection of the high-quality essential oils in each unique scent.
For instance, ylang-ylang, known for its exquisite aroma, commands a higher price than lavender. This thoughtful approach ensures that the premium you pay genuinely reflects the value and artistry of the essential oils incorporated into Naroma candles, embodying our commitment to luxury and authenticity.
Should I Ignite Both Wicks When Burning Naroma Candles?
When lighting our candle, please ignite both wicks.
This is because our candles made with a high composition of beeswax often require a double wick to ensure optimal performance. This design not only reduces soot but also enhances scent throw.

Our brass vessels can be repurposed as pen holders, flower vases, or for holding wick trimmers. Their elegant design complements various home styles, including wooden, Nordic, and industrial aesthetics.
