FAQs
What is the scent profile of the Samarkand Candle?
The Samarkand Candle features a Moroccan Red Cinnamon scent, which is an exotic blend inspired by spices and blooms from ancient trade routes, offering a warm and spicy fragrance.
How long does the candle typically burn?
The candle has an approximate burn time of 50 hours, providing long-lasting fragrance and a soft glow.
Can the glass container be reused?
Yes, the lavishly detailed glass container is designed to be reused for decorative purposes after the candle has been fully consumed and the glass is cleaned.
What should I do before lighting the candle for the first time?
Before the first burn, remove all packaging and ensure the candle is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts. Allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges of the glass on this initial burn to prevent tunneling.
How should I trim the wick?
Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each use to ensure a clean, even burn and to minimize smoke and soot.
Is this candle suitable for large rooms?
The candle provides a noticeable fragrance and ambient glow. For very large or open-plan spaces, the scent diffusion may be more subtle. It is best suited for medium-sized rooms or as an accent in larger areas.
What does 'Samarkand' refer to in the product name?
'Samarkand' refers to the historical city along the Silk Road, inspiring the traditional scenes depicted on the glass container and the exotic nature of the scent blend.
Troubleshooting
Candle is not burning evenly (tunneling)
Ensure the first burn melts the wax to the edges of the container. For subsequent burns, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. Avoid drafts.
Excessive smoke or soot
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area. Extinguish the flame properly using a snuffer or by gently dipping the wick into the wax pool.
Fragrance is too weak
Ensure the room is not excessively large or drafty. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the fragrance to diffuse. Check that the wick is trimmed properly.
Glass container is dirty after use
Once the candle is completely cooled and solidified, clean the glass with warm, soapy water. For stubborn residue, a gentle scrub may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets. Remove all packaging before lighting.
Compatibility: This candle is designed for general home use to provide fragrance and ambiance. It is not intended for use with any specific devices or systems.
Care:
- First Burn: Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface to the edges of the glass on the first burn to prevent tunneling. This typically takes 2-3 hours.
- Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This helps ensure a clean, even burn and reduces soot.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool to extinguish the flame. Avoid blowing out the flame, as this can cause smoke and splatter.
- Cleaning: Once the candle is finished and the glass is cool, it can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and reused as a decorative container.
