It also increases the likelihood of damaging your wick. It is best to smother the flame gently. This involves using a snuffer or wick dipper. Using the tip of a knife is also a convenient alternative.
Taking good care of the wick
The wick is an essential part of your scented candle. Its mission is to melt the wax to let the fragrance you have chosen escape into the air. For your information, Côté Bougie generally offers three types of atmosphere for its scented candles, namely gourmand aromas, oriental scents, and floral fragrances. Moreover, concerning the wick, it is essential to pay attention to their height. You must cut them if they are too long to avoid the emission of black smoke.

Signs that your candle is being used correctly
There are several indicators that you are using your scented candle correctly. The first sign is the absence of a hollow in the wax. This means that the resin should flow gradually and evenly.
