I vividly remember when I first started spending money on luxury candles. After saving up for months, my first candle felt too precious to burn, so I had it on my mantle for almost a year. It was beautiful, but a year in direct sunlight didn't do the candle any good. It lost its fragrance and the wax turned sticky.
Although candles are simple, most people make mistakes like this which prevent them from enjoying each scent to its maximum capacity. Once you've invested - and the best candles are no small investment - you might find that your candle produces black smoke, tunnels, or just stops smelling strongly. The most likely cause of the problem is a simple misstep, and those habits are easy to fix.
