    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes a candle a luxury candle?

    A candle can be considered a luxury candle for its quality of materials and making, including carefully selected waxes, quality wicks, refined fragrance and a well-made vessel designed for an even burn. At Eleish Van Breems Home we select luxury candles on these points. Compare our best scented candles.

    Are luxury candles noticeably different to burn?

    Luxury candles can burn noticeably differently: cleaner waxes and better wicks often mean a more even melt pool, steadier flame and less soot, though results still depend on how you burn them. Trimming the wick helps. See the fragranced tier in our luxury scented candles.

    How do I display luxury candles between uses?

    Display luxury candles between uses by treating the vessel as an object: group them by height on a tray, keep wicks trimmed and centred, and dust the glass or metal. Display luxury candles between uses by treating the vessel as an object: group them by height on a tray, keep wicks trimmed and centred, and dust the glass or metal.  Set Trudon candles where their vessels can be seen.

    When is a luxury candle the right gift?

    Luxury candles make a good gift when you want something considered but not too personal: they suit hosts, thank-yous and new homes, and a well-made vessel can be reused once the wax is gone. Choose a widely liked or unscented option. Pair one with candle holders for a fuller present.
