wicknest

Made by hand, in small batches

No shortcuts, no mystery wax.

Wicknest started with a simple idea: a candle should make a room feel like home, and you should know exactly what’s burning in it.

Small runs, poured by hand

Every Wicknest candle is hand-poured in small runs — never a factory line. Small batches mean every jar gets checked, and every scent gets the time it needs.

We use 100% soy wax because it burns slower and cleaner than paraffin, and every fragrance we use is phthalate-free.

A wick you can hear

A wooden wick gives that soft crackle; a cotton wick keeps the flame steady. Either way you get an even melt to the edge of the jar and a scent that fills the room without shouting.

Candle care

Get the best burn

  1. First light, full melt. Let the first burn run two to three hours, until the wax melts all the way to the edge of the jar.
  2. Trim before you light. Keep the wick about ¼ inch (a wooden wick a little shorter) for a clean, steady flame.
  3. Lid on when it’s out. The wooden lid keeps dust off and the fragrance in between burns.
  4. Stay close. Never leave a flame unattended, and keep it away from drafts, kids and pets.
