Common Candle Questions
Why Is the Wax Discolored?
Every Andante Home Candle is unique and has many different fragrance properties that may cause discoloration of the wax.
Candle fragrances with vanillin, essential oils or botanical extracts, once blended with the wax, may cause the color to be altered.
This discoloration doesn’t change the quality of the wax or the scent of the candle.
Why Is There Black Smoke or Soot?
This is the most common question in the candle industry. We have an article that answers this exact question and offers helpful tips in “Get your soot together” In our Blog section.
Why Can’t I Smell the Fragrance?
If you ever noticed that you can no longer smell the fragrance of a lit candle or scented product, this phenomenon is known as scent blindness. We have an article that answers this exact question and offers helpful tips in “Don’t let scent blindness dull your senses” in our Blog section.
Why Is My Candle Tunneling?
This happens more times than you would think. Tunneling is normally caused by not giving the first burn of the candle a full melt pool before blowing it out. We have an article that answers this exact question and offers helpful tips in “Not the tunnel of love” in our Blog section.
Can I Burn the Candle All the Way Down?
The only answer to this is NO! One of the key practices to follow is never burning your candle past 1/4 inch of wax remaining in the jar. The reason? A flame that’s too close to the bottom can cause the glass jar to heat unevenly, potentially shattering the container. If you want to know what to do with the left over wax, check “What to do with the leftover wax?” under the FAQs.
What to Do With the Leftover Wax in My Jar?
In this climate, let’s stretch the life of your candles and your dollars. Carefully scoop out the remaining wax with a spoon or small tool. You can then place this leftover wax into a wax melter, allowing you to enjoy the fragrance. .

When Should I Trim My Wick?
You should trim your wick to the required length of 1/4” before every burn. This helps manage soot problems, tunneling and so much more.
Do You Use Dyes In Your Products?
We don’t currently use dyes in our products. While dyed candles can be beautiful, some dyes can alter the overall scent of a candle. We want our Andante Home-Makers to experience the full effect of each fragrance we’ve carefully curated.
