Yes, all products produced and sold by Theia Fragrances are vegan friendly. We make our candles from a blend of 100% coconut and soy wax. All products are free from animal testing, free from parabens, PEGS and contain no animal by-products.

Fragrances can vary according to different factors such as the fragrance style, the fragrance notes used and their concentration. Here at Theia Fragrances, we assess the character of the fragrance before calculating its level of usage in a candle. Our mood, level of alertness or the environment in which we smell also play a major role in how we experience a fragrance. For example, a fragrance we smell at 8am may be perceived differently between 1pm and 3pm, when our body's circadian rhythm is at its most sleepy. For this reason, we always evaluate our fragrances before midday.

Additionally, some fragrances act similarly to a cloud, building over time in a room and lingering, whilst other fragrances are vivacious and outgoing.

Please note: the strength of each fragrance also depends on other factors, such as the size of the room the candle is being burnt in and the length of time it is being burnt for. For example, a 110G candle will likely not fill a large living space as it is not designed to do so. Similarly, a 385G candle placed in a bedroom, will likely be quite strong and cause an overload of senses as a result.

After approximately 10 minutes into burning any given fragrance, our body experiences what we call "sensory overload" or "olfactory fatigue". This means that our brains have had enough of that particular smell therefore, switches the brain off so we no longer smell it. It is a protective mechanism of the body. If you can no longer smell the candle, it does not mean the scent has disappeared, it is more likely your brain has switched it off. To overcome this, leave the room for 10 minutes, clear your nose with fresh air or coffee beans and re-enter the room. You should immediately notice the smell again.

Please see the following indications for all Theia Fragrances products:

215G = up to 30 hours

110G = up to 20 hours

Please note: Theia Fragrances aims to ensure all of our products are as long lasting as possible. However, burn times do vary based on a variety of factors. These factors include candle maintanence (whether wicks are being properly trimmed), the length of each continuous burn time (a longer burn that results in a deeper melted wax pool has a tendency to evaporate faster), candle placement (air-conditioned and drafty areas may affect burn time), and the age of the candle. To get the most out of your candles, we advise following the candle care instructions provided in each order.

If you do not burn your candles for a minimum of 1 hour at a time, thereby allowing the wax to melt evenly from one edge of the candle vessel to the other edge, you will find your candle will develop a 'memory ring'. Once a memory ring has been formed, your candle will continue to tunnel, which means that for the remainder of its lifespan, it will not burn evenly from one edge to the other.

Whereas, if you burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, your wick will likely begin to "mushroom". In wood wicks, this occurs when the wood starts to curl over the top of itself. This mushrooming can cause the wick to become unstable as the flame may grow too large and your candle may begin to smoke. Therefore, it is important to follow all safety instructions.
