Frequently Asked Questions
What types of scented candles do you offer?
At The Blue Garden, we specialize in a variety of hand-poured scented candles designed to enhance your environment. Our offerings include unique fragrances such as Fresh Mint & White Chocolate and Forbidden Cherry, among others, each crafted to provide a distinctive aromatic experience.
How are your candles made?
Our candles are carefully hand-poured using high-quality wax and premium fragrance oils. This artisanal approach ensures that each candle not only burns evenly but also releases captivating scents that transform your space into a luxurious haven.
What is the burn time of your candles?
The burn time of our candles varies depending on the size and formulation. On average, our candles provide approximately 40 to 60 hours of burn time, allowing for extended enjoyment of their delightful fragrances.
Are your candles eco-friendly?
Yes, we prioritize sustainability in our production process. Our candles are made from eco-friendly materials, including natural waxes and lead-free wicks, ensuring a cleaner burn that is better for both your home and the environment.
How should I care for my candles?
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your candles, we recommend trimming the wick to 1/4 inch before each use. Additionally, avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, and keep it away from drafts to ensure an even burn.
How long should I burn a soy candle for?
We recommend burning your candle for 2-4 hours at a time. This allows the wax pool to reach the edges of the jar, prevents tunnelling, and gives you the cleanest, most even burn.
Why does my candle tunnel and how do I stop it?
Candle tunnelling happens when the first burn is too short and the wax doesn’t melt to the edges. To avoid this, let your first burn last at least 2-3 hours. Our soy and rapeseed blend helps prevent this by creating a smooth, even surface when cared for correctly.
Are soy and rapeseed wax candles better than paraffin?
Soy and rapeseed wax candles are more sustainable, clean-burning, and longer lasting than paraffin candles. Our unique blend combines the best of both: a smooth surface finish, superior fragrance throw, and a high-performance burn.
Are rapeseed wax candles eco-friendly?
Absolutely, even more so than Soy! Rapeseed wax is one of the most sustainable candle waxes, often grown in Europe with a low carbon footprint. It’s completely biodegradable and provides a clean, slow burn.
What makes The Blue Garden candles different from other soy candles?
Every candle is made with our exclusive soy + rapeseed wax blend, which delivers a smoother finish, stronger fragrance performance, and a clean, even burn. Combined with our optimal fragrance load, the result is a luxury candle that fills your space beautifully.
Which luxury fragrances are The Blue Garden candles inspired by?
Our scents are similar in style to iconic perfumes such as Tom Ford, Jo Malone, and Diptyque. Each fragrance is carefully blended to bring that high-end sophistication to your home at an accessible price.
Why do The Blue Garden candles smell stronger than others?
Our candles smell stronger than other soy candle brands thanks to years of research and testing of high performance rapeseed and coconut waxes for optimal scent throw as well as superior surface aesthetics.
This means your candle doesn’t just smell amazing in the jar - it truly fills your space while burning.
Are your candles safe to use indoors?
Yes. Our candles are made with eco-friendly soy and rapeseed wax, free from paraffin and harmful additives. Always follow candle safety guidelines: never leave a flame unattended, and keep away from children and pets.
