How to choose a perfumed candle
A perfumed candle combines the warmth of candlelight with a beautifully composed fragrance. Ada Johanna perfumed candles are made with the finest fragrances from the Grasse region of France and a blend of soy and coconut wax. The candles are handcrafted in Estonia.
Ada Johanna fragrances are described through the top, heart and base notes familiar from perfumery. These describe the different aromatic layers of a fragrance and give a clearer idea of its overall character.

How should I burn a perfumed candle?
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface of the candle to prevent tunnelling. Before each subsequent burn, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm.
Never leave a burning candle unattended or move it while the wax is liquid. Keep the candle away from children, pets, draughts and flammable materials.
