No, these candles are unscented. While they are made from 100% pure beeswax, they only release a very faint, natural honey aroma that is subtle enough not to interfere with dinner or other fragrances in your home.

These candles have a 1-inch diameter, which is the standard size for most traditional taper candle holders. If your holder is slightly smaller, you can gently shave the base of the candle with a knife to ensure a secure fit.

Yes, when burned properly, pure beeswax is naturally smokeless and soot-free. To maintain this, ensure you keep the cotton wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before each use and keep the candle away from drafts.

Each 15-inch taper provides approximately 24 hours of burn time. Because they are hand-dipped over 20 times, the wax is dense and burns much slower than paraffin or soy alternatives.

Beeswax is unique because it releases negative ions as it burns. These ions attach to positive ions in the air—such as dust, pollen, and odors—and help neutralize them, effectively freshening the air in your room.
