Garden of Eden | Candle

The Charles Farris name has always been synonymous with candle manufacturing, British culture and craftsmanship. This magnificent candle maker house still uses the same traditional methods from the Victorian era to make the best candles for modern day: slow-burning, long-lasting, and of the highest quality.

The story goes back to 1845. Charles Farris created a brand that supplied pillar candles to some of Britain's most important buildings, including Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral. By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, this historic London company is the ultimate candlemaker.

With 170 years of experience, Charles Farris created a range of luxury scented candles and reed diffusers. Working with master blenders to create unique and beautiful scents, they craft their candles using traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. Charles Farris candles are encased in artisan, hand-finished glass.

This glorious house has benefitted from many generations of skilled candlemakers. The knowledge they have passed on has allowed Charles Farris to remain integral to the London scenery.

Before Burning

• Remove all packaging
• Prior to burning your candle, trim the wick at least ¼ inch (5 mm). This prevents uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
• Keep the pool of wax free of wick trimmings and any debris at all times.
• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces
• Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, soothing, and excessive dripping.
• Do the initial burn of your candle approximately 2-3 hrs to prevent from tunneling and to maximize burn time

While Burning

• Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.
• Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle when the wax is liquified.
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For safety measures, stop burning candles when only half inch (1 cm) remains
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
• Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.

When extinguishing

• Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
• Do not use water to extinguish a candle, this can cause the hot wax to splatter
• Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is completely out and there is no glow coming from the wick ember.
• Do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.

Please read the labels on the candles and don't forget to trim the wicks.
