Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Dark Academia Candle different from other cedarwood candles?
This The Remontant candle combines cardamom and leather with cedarwood for a multi-layered, literary experience rather than a single-note wood fragrance. The wooden wick's crackling sound adds sensory depth that standard wicks cannot provide.
How long does the Dark Academia Candle burn?
With proper wick trimming before each use, this 7 oz candle delivers up to 40 hours of burn time, making it a lasting investment in home fragrance.
Is the wooden wick safe and easy to use?
Yes. Trim the wooden wick to ¼ inch before each relight to maintain optimal burn conditions and prevent mushrooming. This simple step ensures clean, even burning and extends the candle's lifespan.

Candle care
Four habits that decide how long it lasts-
Trim the wick
About 5 mm before every burn. A long wick makes a tall flame, and a tall flame smokes the glass.
-
Let the first burn finish
Two to three hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge. Wax remembers its first pool — cut it short and it tunnels for good.
-
Stop at four hours
Longer and the glass gets hot and the scent flattens. Retire the candle when about 1 cm of wax is left.
-
Keep the jar
Hot soapy water lifts the last of the wax — soy softens at a much lower temperature than paraffin. Then it is a pot, a tumbler, a planter.
- Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every burn.
- First burn: let the pool reach the edge, roughly two to three hours.
- Never burn for more than four hours at a stretch, and stop at 1 cm of wax.
- Keep it in sight, on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children and pets.
