Custom Burn Time
Custom Burn Time & Wick Configuration – Tailored for Performance, Aesthetics & Experience
At Circe Home, we fine-tune every candle for optimal burn time and visual experience — because how a candle burns is just as important as how it smells or looks. Through careful wick selection and burn profiling, we ensure your product performs beautifully from first light to final flicker.
🕯️ Burn Time Customization
We optimize burn time based on wax type, fragrance load, and vessel size. Common requests include:
- 20–25 hours (travel or mini size candles)
- 35–45 hours (standard jars)
- 50–70 hours (large or multi-wick formats)
Customizing burn time improves:
- Brand storytelling (e.g., “Weekend Retreat” 48-hour series)
- Product pricing strategies
- Customer expectations for usage cycles
🔥 Wick Configuration Options
The wick is the engine of your candle. We help you choose the best setup for burn quality, vessel fit, and ambiance:
- Single wick – for small to medium vessels, centered burn
- Double/triple wick – for wide containers, even melt pool
- Wooden wick – visual crackle, upscale sensory appeal
- Cotton wick – clean-burning, classic and reliable
- Crackling wood wick – for fire-like ambiance, unique sound signature
We test each wick-to-wax-to-vessel combination to ensure:
- Even burning without tunneling
- Minimal soot or smoking
- Safe, consistent flame height
