What Makes EMME nyc Candles Unique?

At EMME nyc, we pride ourselves on creating candles that aren’t just beautifully scented but also kind to the environment. Our scented candles are crafted from natural ingredients, including soy wax and sustainably sourced wood wicks. We also use lead-free cotton wicks to ensure a clean, slow burn that’s safe for your home and pets. Our containers are reusable, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

What sets us apart is our dedication to authentic Asian scents and flavors. We infuse our candles with a variety of fragrances inspired by traditional Asian treats and fruits, like moon cake and lychee jelly. These fragrances are not just delightful—they’re also pet-safe and free from toxins and parabens, so you can enjoy your candle with scent knowing it’s good for your family and the environment.

How to Choose the Best Scented Candle

Choosing the best scented candles can be a fun process, but here are a few tips to help you find your perfect match:

1. Consider the Mood: What kind of atmosphere are you aiming to create? If you want a relaxing environment, go for soothing fragrances like Jasmine Tea, which is light and delicate like a jasmine perfume. For an energizing vibe, try something vibrant like our White Peach candle scent or our Drip Coffee, modeled after Vietnamese coffee.
2. Match with the Season: Candle scents can complement the seasons beautifully. Light a lychee  candle smells just like lychee jelly in the summer, or enjoy the cozy aroma of Red Bean and moon cake in the fall.
3. Test the Fragrance: If you can, sample the scent before purchasing. This ensures the candle with scent is just right for your space and preferences. Check out our Stockists page to see if you have any stores that carry EMME nyc close by!

How to Care for Your EMME nyc Candle

To get the most out of your scented candles, proper care is key. Here’s how to ensure a clean, long-lasting burn:

1. Trim the Wick

Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting. This prevents excessive soot and helps your candle burn evenly. A wick that’s too long can cause it to burn too quickly or unevenly.

2. Burn the Candle Properly

On the first burn, let the candle burn until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the candle’s life. Try not to burn your scented candle for more than 4 hours at a time to avoid overheating.

3. Avoid Drafts

Keep away from drafts, vents, and open windows. Drafts can lead to uneven burning and excessive soot. A steady flame is crucial for a slow, even burn.

4. Store Properly

Store your scented candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the quality of the fragrance and prevents the wax from melting prematurely.

Common Candle Issues and How to Fix Them

1. Candle Tunneling

Candle tunneling happens when the wax burns down the center, leaving unmelted wax around the edges. To fix this, make sure you burn the candle long enough on the first use to create a full wax pool. Regular wick trimming also helps prevent tunneling.

2. Soot and Smoke

If you notice soot or smoke, it might be due to a wick that’s too long or a draft. Trim the wick and ensure your candle is placed in a draft-free area to reduce soot and smoke.

3. Uneven Burning

Uneven burning can occur if the candle is on an uneven surface or exposed to drafts. Ensure the candle is on a flat, stable surface and free from drafts for an even burn.
