Creative Co-Op Totem Taper Candles

Yes, these are designed as standard taper candles. They should fit securely into most universal taper candle holders, though the unique totem shape may make them appear slightly wider at the base than traditional smooth tapers.

These candles are made from 100% paraffin wax and are specifically designed to be fragrance-free. You should not notice any artificial scent or perfume while they burn, though you may detect the very faint, natural aroma of the wax itself.

While burn time can vary based on environmental factors like drafts or room temperature, these 10-inch tapers typically offer a standard burn time consistent with high-quality paraffin wax candles of this size. We recommend trimming the wick before each use to ensure the cleanest, longest burn possible.

Because of the intricate, carved totem silhouette, wax may pool or drip differently than it would on a smooth, cylindrical taper. To minimize dripping and maintain the candle's sculptural shape, keep them away from drafts and ensure they are placed on a level surface.

They are fully functional candles designed to be burned, but their striking, architectural silhouette makes them excellent decorative accents even when unlit. Many users choose to display them as sculptural objects on a mantel or dining table before eventually lighting them for an occasion.
