FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Materials

What are LLIOR candles made from?

A blend of soy wax and beeswax, with a cotton wick. No paraffin. No added fragrance.

Why no paraffin?

Paraffin is derived from crude oil. It was developed for industrial purposes, not for the spaces you live in. We chose differently. Soy and beeswax burn slower and cleaner.

Why no fragrance?

Fragrance is added to fill a room with something it did not have. We work with what a space already holds. LLIOR candles carry no scent, only light and warmth.

Are LLIOR candles safe to burn around children or pets?

Yes. Because LLIOR candles contain no added fragrance and no paraffin, they produce a cleaner burn than most candles. As with any open flame, keep candles out of reach of children and animals, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

CARING FOR YOUR CANDLE

How do I get the best burn?

Trim the wick to 0.5 to 1 cm before each burn. Give the first burn at least two hours, so the wax finds its shape and keeps to it. After that, burn for up to four hours at a time, never longer. Put it out with a snuffer, so the wick stays straight.

How long will my candle burn?

Burn times vary by form. The Signature Candle burns for 180 to 200 hours. Pillar Candle I burns for 70 to 90 hours, and Pillar Candle II for 60 to 70 hours. Taper candles burn for 6 to 8 hours each.

My candle has developed a white film on the surface. Is this normal?

Yes. This is called blooming, a natural characteristic of beeswax as it reacts to temperature changes. It does not affect the burn. It is simply the material doing what natural materials do.

Can I burn my candle in a draft?

Avoid burning near open windows or air currents. Uneven airflow causes uneven burning and increases drip. Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

THE EDITION

What is an Edition?

An Edition is the whole LLIOR collection in one box: the Signature Candle, two pillars, four tapers, and a LLIOR matchbox. Seven natural candles in beeswax and soy, over 330 hours of light. Numbered, and made once.

Will an Edition come back?

No. Each Edition is numbered and made once. Once it is withdrawn, it is not produced again.

What if an Edition sells out?

When an Edition is gone, it is gone. We do not restock an Edition once it has closed. The waiting list for the next Edition opens as soon as the current one closes.

How do I join the waiting list?

Leave your email address on the waiting list on the home page. When the next Edition becomes available, you will be among the first to know.

The Signature Candle

Is The Signature Candle part of an Edition?

Yes. The Signature Candle is part of every Edition. It is also the only piece in the LLIOR range that remains available at all times, independent of the Editions.

Gifting

Can I send an order directly to someone else?

Yes. Enter the recipient's address at checkout. If you would like to include a personal note, add it in the order notes field and we will include it with the parcel.

Do you offer gift packaging?

Every LLIOR order is packaged with care. No additional gift packaging is needed.

Do you sell gift cards?

Not at this time.

Wholesale & Trade

Do you work with stockists or interior professionals?

LLIOR works with a selective number of partners. If you represent a space that shares the same values of restraint and considered design, write to hello@llior.com with a short introduction.
