Frequently asked questions
Burn time, candle care, and everything else worth knowing.
Where can I buy Philotree candles?
Philotree candles are available exclusively on Amazon India. Every product page on this site links directly to its Amazon listing.
How long does a Philotree candle burn?
Each 150 g candle burns for 35–40 hours. The Discovery Set of four gives you more than 140 hours in total.
What are Philotree candles made of?
Pure soy wax, IFRA-certified fragrance and lead-free cotton wicks. Every candle is hand-poured in small batches in Delhi.
How should I burn my candle the first time?
Let the first burn last two to three hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar. This sets an even melt pool and prevents tunnelling for the rest of the candle's life.
How do I make my candle last longer?
Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each burn, burn for no more than four hours at a time, and keep the candle away from drafts. Stop when about 1 cm of wax remains.
Are soy candles better than paraffin candles?
Soy wax is plant-based, burns cooler and more slowly than paraffin, and produces a more even melt pool. That's why every Philotree candle is made with it.
Are Philotree candles tested before they ship?
Yes. Every batch goes through a continuous 8-hour burn test and four to five days of evaluation before it is approved.
Do Philotree candles make good gifts?
Yes. Each candle comes ready to give, and the Discovery Set brings all four fragrances together in one gift box. It's a safe pick when you aren't sure which scent someone will like.
