At Poète, we believe a candle is more than a source of light or fragrance. It’s a way to transform your space and elevate your mood. Here’s why Poète candles are unlike most others on the market.

1. Original fine fragrances from the heart of Grasse
We don’t buy fragrances, we create them. Each Poète candle is fragranced with original scents crafted by our in-house French perfumer. They're designed specifically for our candles, and produced in Grasse, France — the perfume capital of the world.

2. Focus on fragrance ingredients to shape your mood and well being
Our candles are built around key fragrance ingredients known for their wellness benefits (like lavandin from Plateau de Valensole in Nocturne). They're perfect for creating a soothing, happy space. Whether you want to relax, focus, or feel uplifted, Poète candles are made to bring harmony and positivity to any moment.

3. Ingredient safety is our highest priority 
Our fragrances comply with the standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. This is to ensure the highest level of safety. When it comes to raw materials, we even go a step further and uphold our own strict policies. You can read more at poete.com/3000

4. A greener burn and hand-poured with care
Most candles on the market are made with paraffin or mineral wax because it is easier to machine manufacture at large scale and more cost effective. Not ours, Poète candles are hand-poured with responsibly sourced soy wax. Soy wax is more expensive and harder to pour evenly, but we take the pain and extra effort because it burns cleaner, non-toxic and lasts up to 30% longer, so you can enjoy your favorite candle with peace of mind.

5. Beautiful, reusable, sustainable containers
Our candles are designed to be cherished long after the last flicker. Each container is thoughtfully crafted with biodegradable materials like glass or ceramic. Ready to be repurposed into a tea cup, a stylish plant pot, or a home for your favorite treasures.

From our co-founder and expert candle maker: I’d love to share some simple tips on how to enjoy your Poète candle to the fullest, while keeping it looking beautiful and burning safely.

• First burn — avoid tunneling.
  On the very first burn, (and after removing any dust cover before lighting!), let your candle melt all the way across the surface—at least one hour. This creates an even “melt pool” and keeps your candle from forming a tunnel down the center.
  
  
• Before each lighting.
  Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use.
  
  
• While it's burning.
  • Avoid burning your candle for more than four hours at a time.
  • If you notice the flame getting too high, go ahead and extinguish it.
  • Always keep your candle on a heat-safe surface, away from anything flammable, and be sure to keep an eye on it.
  • Keep it out of drafts and away from little hands and paws for a steady, safe burn.
  • Make sure to leave at least 20 cm between candles to avoid overheating.
    
    
• Near the end.
  When about 1 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the candle, it’s time to let go to avoid overheating the vessel.
  
  
• Reuse your candle jar ♡
  At Poète, we believe in giving our candle jars a second life. Once your candle is finished, simply remove the metal bottom of the wick and clean the container with warm water and dish soap or gentle hand soap. Our teacup candles transform beautifully into tea cups, while the larger ceramic jars can be repurposed as holders for cotton pads, plant pots, or pencil cups. The small glass jars make lovely verrine dishes or charming storage for small jewelry pieces.

Following these tips will help you enjoy a smooth, beautiful burn with each Poète candle. Thank you for choosing Poète — may it bring warmth and elegance to your space!
