Candle - No.05 Kandilli

The first burn took the full two hours to pool out, and the wick trim to a quarter inch really does keep the flame clean with zero soot. It’s a calm, steady burn that fills the room nicely without ever feeling overpowering.

I was a little skeptical about waiting two hours for the first burn, but the wax pool reached the edges perfectly and now it burns so evenly. The wick stays nice and short with a quick trim, and there's been zero soot on the jar.

Trimming the wick to that quarter inch really does make a difference—no soot, no smoke, just a clean, steady flame. The first burn took a couple of hours to reach the edges, and it’s been burning evenly every time since.
