Why are jar candles so popular?

Oh, jar candles are amazing! They're not just candles; they're like pieces of decor art. You can find them in all sorts of pretty jars that match any style. Plus, they burn evenly and last a long time. What's not to love?

What makes Boulangerie candles special?

Boulangerie candles are like a bakery in a jar! Seriously, their scents, like Angel Food and Sweet Vanilla Cinnamon, smell divine. They fill your room with a cozy, welcoming vibe. It’s like dessert without the calories!

How do I choose the right scent for my space?

Choosing a scent is all about personal taste. Think about the mood you want to set. Want something relaxing? Go for vanilla or lavender. Need a lift? Citrus is great. Personally, I love mixing it up with seasonal scents like pumpkin spice in the fall!

Are there any tricks to making my candle last longer?

Definitely! Always trim the wick before lighting it and let it burn until the top layer melts completely. This prevents tunneling and keeps the candle burning evenly. And remember, patience is key!

Can pretty jar candles be reused after the wax is gone?

Absolutely, and that's one of my favorite things! Once you’ve enjoyed the candle, you can clean out the jar and use it as a chic storage container or a cute little vase. Reuse and recycle, right?
