FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does an ōtéhà candle burn?

Where are ōtéhà candles made?
Every candle is hand-poured in small batches in Portugal. The fragrance comes from France, the wax and coreless cotton wick from Germany and the glass from Italy. The full journey of each candle is shown under Behind the scent on every product page.
Are the candles vegan and cruelty-free?
Our fragrance formulation is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and our wax is vegan friendly. Labels and packaging are made from 100% recycled paper.
How do I get the best burn from my candle?
Trim the wick to 3–5 mm before each burn and place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, recentre the wick after each burn while the wax is still liquid, and let the candle cool fully before moving it. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
