Which Candle Size Should I Choose?

Bathroom, office or entryway

Choose the Noir 10 oz. It is large enough to provide a noticeable fragrance experience without overpowering a smaller space.

Bedroom

Choose the Noir 10 oz for a balanced fragrance presence or the Noir Grande 14 oz for longer burn time and stronger room coverage.

Living room or dining room

Choose the Noir Grande 14 oz. It offers a longer burn and a more noticeable fragrance presence for central living spaces.

Large or open-concept room

Choose the Aura 18 oz. Its wider vessel and multi-wick design are better suited to larger areas.

First-time fragrance purchase

Begin with the Noir 10 oz or a Phoenix Crafted Discovery Set before committing to a larger vessel.

Gift purchase

Choose the Noir 10 oz for the most versatile gift option. Decorative Noir styles offer additional visual impact while remaining within the same 10 oz size category.

Cotton Wick or Wooden Wick?

Cotton Wick

Provides a traditional and quiet candle experience
Produces a steady flame
Trim to approximately 1/4 inch before every burn
A good choice for customers who prefer simple wick maintenance

Wooden Wick

May produce a soft crackling sound
Creates a wider, modern-looking flame
Trim to approximately 1/8 inch before every burn
Remove loose charred wood before relighting

Not every wick type is appropriate for every vessel and fragrance combination. The wick choices available for a particular candle are displayed on its product page.

Understanding Burn-Time Estimates

Burn times are approximate and assume the candle is used and maintained correctly. Actual performance may vary based on:

Wick type and wick maintenance
Fragrance composition
Length of each burn session
Room temperature and airflow
Decorative wax elements or embeds
Whether the candle reaches an even melt pool
How much wax remains when use is discontinued

For the best performance, trim the wick before every use, keep the candle away from drafts and do not burn it for more than four hours at a time.

Stop burning the candle when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
