Dark mahogany and smoked winter woods provide an added warmth to woodsy fir balsam and fresh fallen pine needles. Every Creator Collection candle features OpenWick technology, innovated and patented by Cue candles. When lit, OpenWick unfolds into two self-trimming wicks, which helps to reduce soot. The unique shape of the flame produces a quicker and fuller wax pool to throw scent faster and also prevents wasted wax on the sides of the jar. For the best OpenWick experience, don't trim your wick before first light. Keep your scent fresh by placing the lid back on the candle after each use. Your environment can affect flame heights. Throughout the burn, if the flame height exceeds 1-1/2", trim wick to 1/4" to reduce sooting.
