Get more from every candle

Three small habits make a big difference to how long a candle lasts and how well it smells.

First light, go long: burn for two to three hours so the melt reaches the edge of the glass. This stops tunnelling. Trim to five millimetres: a short wick gives a calm flame and no black soot. Four hours, then rest: longer burns overheat the wax and dull the scent.
