Tealights & Votives Details
Phoenix Crafted tealights and votives are hand-poured in small batches for easy scent sampling, gifting and smaller-space fragrance.

Wax Blend
Our standard tealights and votives are made with a coconut soy and beeswax blend and carefully selected candle-safe fragrance oils.
This blend is chosen to support a smooth appearance, even burn and pleasant fragrance performance when used correctly.
Please note: Because the wax blend contains beeswax, these products are not considered vegan.
Tealights
Tealights are small candles poured into heat-safe cups. They are ideal for:
- Sampling a new fragrance
- Small bathrooms and powder rooms
- Desks and reading areas
- Table settings
- Gift sets
- Using in approved tealight holders
Tealights should always remain inside their original cup while burning.
Approximate tealight burn time
Burn time varies by wax weight, wick, fragrance and environment. The estimated burn time for each set is listed on the product page when available.
Votives
Votives are larger than tealights and are designed to liquefy as they burn.
For proper performance, votives must be burned inside a close-fitting, heat-safe votive holder.
A properly sized holder supports the melt pool and helps prevent wax from spreading outside the intended area.
Approximate votive burn time
Burn time varies by wax weight, wick, fragrance and holder size. The estimated burn time is listed on the individual product page when available.
Fragrance Strength
Tealights and votives generally provide a softer fragrance presence than full-size candles.
Fragrance performance may vary based on:
- The fragrance family
- The number of candles burning
- Room size
- Airflow and drafts
- Burn duration
- The holder used
Use one in a smaller area for a subtle fragrance experience, or burn multiple matching scents in separate approved holders for broader coverage.
Handmade Variations
Because each batch is poured by hand, minor differences are natural and do not normally affect performance.
These may include:
- Slight color variations
- Small surface marks
- Minor frosting or crystallization
- Slight differences in fill level
- Subtle wick-position variations
Choosing Between Tealights and Votives
Choose tealights if:
- You want to sample several fragrances.
- You prefer a shorter burn session.
- You are scenting a small area.
- You want an easy gift or discovery format.
Choose votives if:
- You want a longer burn than a tealight.
- You prefer a stronger fragrance presence.
- You already own a proper votive holder.
- You want a compact candle for regular use.
Storage
- Store in a cool, dry location.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep scented products covered or packaged when not in use.
- Store different fragrances separately to reduce scent transfer.
- Keep away from children and pets.
