The Rakish Gent is pleased to announce the launch of Maison Rakish - a new luxury home fragrance brand offering soy wax candles handcrafted in London. The candles use 100% soy wax and premium fragrance oils to ensure a clean burn and a long-lasting scent that will fill your home.
The first offering from the new brand is a stunning French Pear & Freesia scent which is a crisp, fresh, fruity and floral combination of notes. The scent boasts notes of pear, followed by soft florals of freesia and rose with a deep base of patchouli, sheer musk and amber.
Presented in a classic clear glass jar and modern & minimalist box, the average burn time for the 30cl candles is 40 hours.
Tips:
Avoid Drafts - place your candle in a draft-free location, as drafts often cause uneven burning and effect the scent.
Use a Candle Snuffer - use a candle snuffer to extinguish your candle as it prevents the wick from moving and becoming misaligned.
Burn for a Consistent Time - try and burn your candle for the same amount of time, each time you burn it. This will ensure a consistent burn and prevent tunnelling.
Allow the Wick to Melt - on first lighting, allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the glass container.
Trim the Wick - before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4 inch or 6mm to ensure a clean and even burn and prevent soot build up.
