Frequently Asked Questions

All our candles are hand-poured with soy wax, to ensure that the candle burns clean. The wick and the wax are two elements in a candle that determine the amount of soot it emits. Paraffin-wax candles emit the maximum amount of soot which is why our candles are made with soy wax that is free of chemicals. Additionally, the wicks used in our candles are unbleached and made with cotton as opposed to a lead-core wick. Lead-based wick tends to release toxic debris and soot into the air, which makes it an unhealthy choice.   

Our soy candles are hand-poured into amber jars and are available in two sizes. Bohemian Summer, Ocean Vibes and Floral Passion have a burn time of up to 18 hours whereas Majestic Jasmine, Vanilla Breeze and Eastern Woods have a burn time of up to 32 hours. By following the candle etiquettes you can assure that your candles and their fragrance last longer.

Just like perfumes, fragrance plays a key role in candles as well. Scented candles have three levels: the top, middle and base notes. The top note consists of the fragrance. The middle note is the core, while the base note is dominant and tends to develop over time. If you love aromatic candles, there are many options to choose from. Kimirica’s Candle Works collection has six exquisite fragrances: Majestic Jasmine, Vanilla Breeze, Ocean Vibes, Floral Passion, Bohemian Summer and Eastern Woods. The Candle Works collection has been thoughtfully crafted by our olfactory experts with a focus on creating a welcoming ambience to fit seamlessly into any home.  

Each Candle Works candle comes in an amber jar that can be reused as an accent piece making it a perfect gifting option for your loved ones. The candle is encased in a luxurious box decorated with an intricate pattern, and a tastefully designed lid that doubles up as a coaster. This design element makes our candles a real keepsake. You can also opt for our Love Story Soy Candle and Radiant Soy Candle Set of 3 which come in beautiful and elegant packaging that is ideal for festive gifting. 

Soy wax candles are environmentally friendly; they are 100% natural and considered to be a sustainable resource. Plant-based scented candles are easy to procure and have a better shelf life. Additionally, such candles don’t contain toxic materials, release less soot into the air, and even burn slower. The best fact about soy candles is that they burn slower than others which makes them a perfect choice for the festive season. Light them in the evening and watch them burn till the wee hours of the night without worrying about them running out of wax. Soy-wax candles don’t release the entire scent in one go; since they burn slower, there is a gradual release, which adds to the essence of your candle’s authenticity.
