How large is the candle?

What is the 'flocked glass' finish?
The flocked glass finish is a decorative texture inspired by Italian medieval craft, giving the candle a unique tactile quality and creating a warm, atmospheric glow when lit.
How should I care for the flocked glass?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the flocking.
What is the inspiration behind V Canto candles?

Is this candle suitable for larger rooms?

Can I reuse the glass container after the candle has burned out?
Yes, the decorative flocked glass container can be repurposed as a small vase or decorative object once cleaned thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Uneven burn (tunneling)
Ensure the candle burns long enough on the first use for the wax pool to reach the edges. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before subsequent burns.
Weak scent throw
Ensure the room is not excessively large or drafty. For best results, use in a medium-sized, enclosed space. Allow the candle to burn for at least 30 minutes to begin releasing scent.
Excessive smoking or flickering flame
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. If the flame is still too high, remove a small amount of excess wax from around the wick. Ensure the candle is not placed in a draft.
Damage to flocked surface
Handle with care. Clean only with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.

- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool and straighten it to extinguish the flame. Never blow out the candle.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
