Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our luxury candles and reed diffusers
Candles
We use a custom blend of apricot, coconut and soy wax paired with phthalate-free premium fragrance oils, and a cotton wick, creating a luxurious candle with a clean, long-lasting burn.
Yes! We would be delighted to send you a sample pack of our fragrance cards so you can explore our entire fragrance library. Simply email us at luvandlotuscandle@gmail.com with your name and mailing address, and we will send one your way.
Our 4 oz candles burn approximately 20–25 hours, while our signature 9 oz candles burn for approximately 55 hours depending on care and environment.
Coconut-apricot wax is a luxury blend known for its smooth finish, excellent fragrance throw, and cleaner burn compared to traditional soy or paraffin.
Trimming your wick to ¼ inch before each burn helps prevent soot, ensures a steady flame, and prolongs the life of your candle.
Tunneling is generally not an issue with our coconut apricot wax blend. Our coconut apricot wax blend offers a longer softening range than pure soy, meaning melt pools do not need to reach the vessel’s edges to fully consume the wax. For best results, burn for shorter intervals of 3-4 hours and trim the wick to about ¼ inch and allow the candle to cool fully before relighting.
While our candles are made without harmful additives, we recommend burning them in a well-ventilated space and keeping them out of reach of pets to avoid injury.
Yes! Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar with warm soapy water. Our jars are premium quality blown glass and make lovely keepsakes. They can be cleaned and repurposed for non-food uses. While our jars are crafted with elegance, they are not intended for reuse in candle making.
Use a candle snuffer for the cleanest experience. If you don’t have one, gently blow it out avoiding splashing wax.
Reed Diffusers
Our luxury reed diffusers typically last 2–3 months, depending on room size, airflow, and number of reeds used.
Our premium white fiber reeds are designed to diffuse fragrance efficiently without frequent flipping. If the scent begins to fade, gently flip the reeds to refresh the aroma.
For a subtle scent, use 4–5 reeds. For a stronger fragrance, use all 7 reeds provided.
Place your diffuser in a small to medium-sized room, away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or fans, which can cause the oil to evaporate faster.
Yes, when used properly. Keep diffusers out of reach and avoid direct contact with skin or ingestion of the fragrance oil.
Absolutely, we offer Luv and Lotus diffuser refills so you can continue enjoying your favorite scents.
Warmer rooms, strong drafts, or direct sunlight can cause faster evaporation. To prolong the life of your diffuser, keep it in a cool, shaded area.
