Product Insights
The Flambette Citrus And Sage Scented Candle features a wooden wick that produces a gentle crackling sound and a wider ribbon-like flame, offering a premium sensory experience. It burns up to 50 hours—30–50% longer than paraffin—using 100% pure soy wax that is renewable, biodegradable, and burns cleaner with less soot. The $24 price delivers this feature set, making it a value for a crackling wooden wick candle. The scent, a bright citrus and herbaceous sage with a soft soy-wax throw, is the brand's most consistently cited favorite and part of the permanent collection. However, the wick must be trimmed to 1/4 inch before each lighting, and the first burn must last at least one hour to prevent tunneling. The soy wax may also require a 1–2 week cure for richer scent. Hand-poured in Trois-Rivières since 2016 with local eco-responsible sourcing, the glass jar can be cleaned and reused as a planter, tumbler, or decor piece, supporting the brand's sustainable ethos.
- Sensory experience
Wooden wick produces a wider ribbon-like flame and a gentle crackling sound.
Why this is supported
The wooden wick creates a visible ribbon-like flame that is wider than a standard cotton wick, and it also produces a soft crackling sound.
Wider ribbon-like flame
diyproducts101.comand a
gentle crackling sound like being near a fire
lalooma.ca. The crackle pairs with the candle's subtle scent throw, creating a multisensory ambiance suited to intimate spaces.
- Maintenance
Trim wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting; first burn one hour minimum.
Why this is supported
To maintain the signature crackle and an even burn, the wooden wick must be trimmed before each use:
Shorten the wick to about ¼″ before each use (break off the burnt part with your fingers).
inkwellboutique.caAdditionally, on the first burn the candle needs a long initial session to create a full melt pool:
let it burn for at least one hour on the first lighting, until the wax is melted all the way to the edges of the jar
How does the candle burn - does it create an even melt pool or tunnel?. These simple steps ensure the candle performs as designed.
- Value
The $24 crackling wooden wick candle burns 50 hours, a premium feature at this price.
Why this is supported
At $24 CAD, this candle includes a crackling wooden wick, a feature typically found in higher-priced artisanal candles.
The wooden wick combined with pure soy wax contributes to a slow, even burn:
Soy wax candles burn slower because the melting point of soy wax is around 120 degrees F.
mtncitycandles.comThis supports the advertised 50-hour burn time from 8 oz candle, making the sensory upgrade both affordable and long-lasting.
- Burn time
Burns up to 50 hours, 30–50% longer than paraffin.
Why this is supported
Soy wax's lower melting point makes it burn slower:
Soy wax candles burn slower because the melting point of soy wax is around 120 degrees F.
mtncitycandles.comThis results in 30–50% longer burn times than paraffin,
Soy candles burn 30-50% longer than paraffin
royalflamecandleco.com, and the 50-hour burn from 8 oz confirms the

- Scent quality
Cure 1–2 weeks for richer scent; soy wax provides a gentle hot throw.
Why this is supported
Soy wax candles benefit from a
cure for at least 1-2 weeks
candlescience.comto allow the fragrance oil to fully bind, resulting in a more harmonized scent. The candle's hot throw is also naturally
a touch softer than the same fragrance in paraffin
lonestarcandlesupply.com, which suits the bright citrus and sage notes for a gentle background aroma.
- Environmental impact
Renewable soy wax burns cleaner with less soot and is biodegradable.
Why this is supported
Soy wax starts as
soybean oil, pressed or solvent-extracted from soybeans
lonestarcandlesupply.com, a renewable crop that is
more environmentally friendly than petroleum oil
blendedwaxes.com. When burned, soy candles
produce less soot and toxins when lit

biodegradable

- Jar reuse
Jar cleans easily; leftover wax can be removed with hot water or freezer for reuse.
Why this is supported
Soy wax is

will melt, rise to the surface, and solidify

- Wax removal
Hot water or freezing removes wax; never pour hot water into a cold jar.
Why this is supported
Two methods effectively clean the jar. The hot water method melts the wax, which then solidifies as a clean disk:
The remaining soy wax will melt, rise to the surface, and solidify as the water cools.
alenas.caThe freezer method pops out wax but requires caution:
Do not pour boiling water into a cold jar straight from the freezer.
thecandledust.comAfter removal, if repurposing as a new candle, the wick tab and glue must be taken out so the new wick seats flat:
A new wick needs a flat, stable surface. If the old tab or glue mound stays in place, the new wick can sit off-center, tilt as the wax pool forms, or fail to adhere well enough for a safe burn.
thecandledust.com- Wax disposal
The candle's soy wax residue is biodegradable and safe for trash disposal.
Why this is supported
The candle uses 100% soy wax, so any wax residue discarded in the trash is biodegradable:
Pour melted wax and wick tab into the trash. (Please Note: soy wax is biodegradable.)
litupcandleco.com- Jar repurposing
The jar works as a planter (pebble drainage), tumbler, or decor piece.
Why this is supported
The frosted jar can be converted into a planter. Because drilling the glass would crack it:
most candle jars are ceramic or glass and would crack if you try to drill into them
wildinteriors.comInstead, a pebble drainage layer allows a small succulent to thrive. For decorative use, the jar's frosted finish works well with minimal styling:
frosted glass, twine, paint, matte labels, or a simple metal rim usually work better than heavy decoration.
ecohousedecor.comAnd for reuse as a drinking glass, the soy wax cleans off completely:
Soy wax is also easier to clean or wipe away than paraffin wax.

candle
The wick is very strange. . . . it isn't really a wick, I think it might be a piece of wood? It took several matches to get it to light and the scent is limited. I don't think I would order this brand again.
