Himalayan Candles makes beautifully scented candles in original reusable containers. Their candles are poured using artisan techniques with a blend of natural soy wax and high quality essential and fragrance oils. They will burn exceptionally well... a clean, even burn with minimal soot, leaving little to no residue and a lingering fragrance. Himalayan Candles are hand-made and packaged in their studio in Decatur, Georgia. The Driftwood Collection has a metal liner, and the candle will burn evenly in the liner if the following steps are taken: Be sure to keep all wicks lit at the same time. It is essential to burn the candle for at least 3-4 minutes at first and every time you light it. This will create the widest burn pool. Trim wicks before lighting to keep the cleanest burn and to avoid a flame height that is higher than intended.
