Product guide
Candle Details
Each Phoenix Crafted candle is hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina. Because every candle is made by hand, slight variations in wax appearance, color, decorative placement, and finish are natural.
Our Wax Blend
Our standard candles are crafted with a premium blend of:
- Coconut soy wax
- Beeswax
- Carefully selected candle-safe fragrance oils
This blend was selected to create a smooth appearance, an inviting fragrance experience, and a clean, even burn when properly maintained.
Please note: Because our blend contains beeswax, these candles are not considered vegan.
Wick Options
Cotton Wick
A traditional candle experience with a steady flame and quiet burn.
Wooden Wick
A modern wick option that may produce a gentle crackling sound while burning. Wooden wicks require a shorter trim than cotton wicks and may occasionally need to be relit during the first burn.
Wick availability may vary by vessel, fragrance, and candle size.
Vessels and Sizes
Phoenix Crafted offers several vessel styles and sizes. Available options are shown directly on each product page and may include:
- Noir vessels
- Noir Grande vessels
- Aura vessels
- Decorative and specialty vessels
The selected vessel may affect wick configuration, burn time, decorative options, and final appearance.
Fragrance Strength
Fragrance strength can vary based on the scent, room size, airflow, vessel, and wick selection. Product descriptions indicate the intended fragrance profile and approximate scent strength whenever available.
For the strongest and most even fragrance experience, allow the wax to melt close to the edges of the vessel during each burn.
14-Day Scent Swap Guarantee
Eligible candles may be burned once to evaluate the fragrance. If the scent is not the right fit, contact Phoenix Crafted within 14 days of delivery to request one scent swap for the item. The vessel, wax, and label must remain in good condition. Exclusions and return-shipping terms apply.
Review full scent-swap eligibility and instructions.
Handmade Variations
Minor differences are part of the handmade process and do not affect the quality or performance of your candle. These may include:
- Slight wax discoloration
- Small surface imperfections
- Minor frosting or crystallization
- Variation in decorative embeds
- Slight movement of the wick after cooling

Candle Care & First Burn
Candle Care & First Burn
Proper candle care helps your candle burn more evenly, last longer, and perform as intended.
Before Every Burn
Cotton Wicks
Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before lighting.
Wooden Wicks
Trim the wick to approximately 1/8 inch before lighting. Remove loose or charred wood from the top of the wick before relighting.
Always allow the candle to cool completely before trimming the wick.
The First Burn
The first burn helps establish how the candle will perform during future use.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Keep it away from drafts, fans, open windows, children, and pets.
- Allow the wax to melt close to the edges of the vessel.
- Do not burn the candle for more than four hours at a time.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Extinguishing the candle too soon may cause tunneling, leaving unused wax around the sides of the vessel.
During Each Burn
- Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and debris.
- Do not move the candle while the wax is melted.
- Keep the candle away from flammable materials.
- Discontinue use if the flame becomes unusually high or begins producing excessive smoke.
- Extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, trim the wick, and relight if necessary.
How to Extinguish Your Candle
Use a candle snuffer when possible. Avoid using water, which can cause hot wax to splatter or damage the vessel.
Allow the candle to cool completely before replacing the lid or moving it.
When to Stop Burning
Discontinue use when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel. Burning beyond this point can cause the container to overheat.
Wooden Wick Troubleshooting
The wick will not stay lit
The wick may be too long or have too much charred wood at the top. Extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, and trim the wick slightly shorter before relighting.
The flame is very small
Carefully remove loose ash or charred wood from the wick after the candle has completely cooled. Do not remove too much of the unburned wood.
The candle is tunneling
On the next burn, allow the wax to melt closer to the edge of the vessel. Avoid short burn sessions whenever possible.
Important Safety Reminders
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep away from children and pets.
- Do not burn near drafts or flammable objects.
- Keep multiple burning candles several inches apart.
- Do not touch or move a hot vessel.
- Do not use a vessel that is cracked, chipped, or damaged.

Which Candle Size Should I Choose?
Bathroom, office or entryway

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.
