How to use
The Floral Tin is one 3.5 oz tin. It is the right size for a desk, a bathroom or a small bedroom.
- Let the first burn continue until the wax is liquid to the rim of the tin.
- Cut the wick to 6 mm each time you light it.
- Metal carries heat. Stand the tin on a coaster or a tile, and wait until the wax is solid before you pick it up.
- Burn it for four hours at most in one session.
- Before you put it in a bag, let the wax cool and set fully.
- Do not leave it lit alone. Children and pets must not be able to reach it.
- The moulded wax flower melts into the pool. Put the tin out for the last time when 1 cm of wax is left in the base.

Frequently asked questions
Is the tin the same as the glass jar?
No. The tin is 3.5 oz in soy wax with a moulded flower. The jar is 5 oz in coconut soy with a larger flower. The fragrance is the same.
Which scent should I start with?
Lavender Paradise if you want calm, Sunny Hope if you want bright, Hawaiian Hibiscus if you want a floral with some warmth in it.
Does the tin get hot?
Yes, hotter on the outside than glass. Stand it on a heat-resistant surface and do not move it while it is lit.
Can I take it travelling?
The lid closes, so it travels well in a bag. Do not burn it somewhere you do not control, such as a hotel room where candles are not allowed.
How long does it burn?
We have not measured it yet, so we will not print a number we cannot stand behind. It is less than the 25 to 30 hours of a 5 oz jar.
One label says Lavender Farm. Is that different?
No. Lavender Farm is the older label for Lavender Paradise. Same scent, older sticker.
