The Cuvée Candles wax blend is biodegradable, non-GMO, toxin-free, and contains no synthetic additives.
We use 100% cotton wicks made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, sourced from Germany’s leading wick supplier, who is accredited by the RAL Quality Association for Candles.

ARE YOUR PRODUCTS CRUELTY-FREE AND VEGAN?
Yes and yes.
What is your product quality philosophy?
Our quality standards are reflected in every aspect of the product development process at Cuvée Candles. We have worked tirelessly to create a candle that meets our high standards of aesthetics and functions flawlessly. A candle is a very complex product consisting of several natural components influenced by several factors. That's why we monitor burning characteristics such as burn time, pool width and depth, flame height, wick length and position, soot, afterglow and more to ensure our candles meet the highest standards. Each candle undergoes rigorous testing in the laboratory, where each result is documented in a comprehensive burn report. These reports are then used to make corrections in the production process and ensure that each candle is of the highest quality. In addition to laboratory testing, all Cuvée candles are tested under various storage conditions to ensure they maintain their excellent quality.
CANDLE CARE AND TIPS
What’s the best way to make my candle last longer?
To extend the life of your CUVÉE CANDLE, trim the wick before each burn to 0,5 cm and let the wax melt evenly across the surface. This prevents tunneling and keeps the scent fresh. Remember, one burning cycle of a luxury candle can be between 3 and 4 hours and the candle should burn that time frame.
What’s the difference between hot throw and cold throw in candles?
Cold throw is the scent when unlit, while hot throw is released when burning. CUVÉE CANDLES are designed to give a strong fragrance in both states.
How do I fix a candle that’s tunneling?
Wrap aluminum foil around the edge of the candle and let it burn for a few hours. However, CUVÉE CANDLES' high-quality wax and wicks help prevent tunneling from happening as long as you cut the wick everytime to 0,5 cm and respect the burning cycle of 3-4 hours per burn.

It’s a pity not to light such high-quality candles, as their full sensory experience is meant to bring warmth and sophistication to your space.
