DETAILS

Crafted with bespoke perfume and essential oils, Tatine's phthalate-free candles feature cotton wicks for a clean burn. Tatine candles use a combination of high-grade perfumery oils and pure essential oils. This allows them to have a greater range of fragrances in their palette and provide more fragrance throw when you burn Tatine candles at home.

Classic 8 ounce: up to 50 hours of a delicate fragrant atmosphere when burned properly.

Natural wax blend elegantly housed in artisan mouth-blown vessels that are designed and tested to be drink-safe and repurposed as glassware, snack cups, small plant containers, bud vases or catchalls to extend the life of each beautiful, mouth blown piece. To clean and reuse your glass, gently scrape out any excess dried wax and hand wash with hot soapy water. Vessels are dishwasher-safe after first wash!

Tatine's decorative packaging is created in the USA with craft manufacturing using 100% recycled and reimagined post-consumer materials, compliant with EU Reach and Prop 65 standards. 

The artful tissue that holds Tatine's vessels is made with FSC-certified responsible forestry.

HOW TO USE

Time is of the essence. The first burn is a crucial step that imprints a memory into the soul of the wax. It's essential to burn until the entire surface has pooled from edge to edge of the vessel, allowing a complete melt pool to form to prevent tunneling. This initial burn sets the stage for how the candle will continue to illuminate and spread its sacred scent.

For each subsequent burn, your actions directly influence the candle's performance and longevity. Always remember to trim the wick before relighting. At each lighting, you should trim the wick to 1/4".

If you wish to burn your candle for long periods of time, extinguish the flame after 4 hours and let the wax cool. The wick may require recentering from time to time. If so, gently readjust the wick while the wax is still molten, allowing the wax to solidify before trimming and relighting. 

Burn in sight, out of harm's way on a heat-safe surface, or resting on a stylish plate.
