Why Wick Testing Matters

Before a candle ever makes it into your space, it goes through quiet testing behind the scenes. One of the most important steps in that process is wick testing.

Wick testing helps us understand how a candle burns over time, how the flame behaves, how evenly the wax melts, and how the candle performs from the first light to the last. It allows us to make small adjustments so the glow stays gentle and comfortable, never too strong or overwhelming.

This part of candle making takes patience. Each test burn is observed carefully, often over several hours, to make sure everything feels balanced and just right. It’s not the fastest step, but it’s one of the most meaningful.

We believe a good candle should feel easy to enjoy. Wick testing helps us create candles that burn cleanly, feel calm in your space, and support the quiet moments they’re meant for.

Slow work, done with care.
