FAQ
• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always keep a lit candle within sight.
• Burn your candle on a heat-resistant surface. The vessel may become hot during use — do not move a candle while it is lit.
• Keep candles away from anything that may catch fire, including loose papers, fabric, bedding, books, curtains, and decorations.
• Avoid burning candles in drafts or near open windows, air conditioners, vents, or fans.
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
• If you feel sleepy or may fall asleep, extinguish your candle before resting.
• Extinguish the flame if it becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Trim the wick and check for drafts before relighting.
• Discontinue use when approximately 10 mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
Melt
Allow the first burn to fully melt the entire top layer of wax — this helps prevent tunneling and sets the burn memory of your candle. As Bondi Scent candles are designed for longevity, the first burn may take up to 2 hours. Once fully melted, fragrance throw will be at its strongest.
Tip: For events, light your candle about an hour before guests arrive.
Trim
Trim the wick to approximately 10 mm after each burn to maintain an even flame and reduce smoke. If soot appears on the glass, allow the candle to cool and wipe clean with a soft cloth. For best results, burn your candle for no more than four hours at a time.
Reuse
Discontinue use when approximately 10 mm of wax remains. To clean your vessel, place it in the freezer to remove remaining wax, then wash with warm soapy water. Do not pour wax down the drain. Once cleaned, reuse your vessel — perfect for flowers, brushes, or everyday storage.
Plant- Based Wax Blend
We use a premium blend of soy and coconut wax, sourced from Australian manufacturers. Our candles are paraffin-free and made without added performance enhancers or unnecessary additives, allowing the natural qualities of the wax to shine.
Pure Cotton Wick
Bondi Scent candles feature an unbleached, lead-free cotton wick, designed to promote an even, low-soot burn when used as directed.
Custom Fragrances
We collaborate with Australia’s leading fragrance manufacturers to develop our signature scents. Our fragrances are a considered blend of fine fragrance oils and essential oil components, thoughtfully formulated to be phthalate- and paraben-free.
Borosilicate Glass Vessel
Our candles are housed in borosilicate glass vessels, chosen for their durability and resistance to heat. This type of glass is less prone to cracking or thermal shock, making it ideal for safe, long-lasting use and reuse
At Bondi Scent, we define clean-burning as a slower, more even burn with minimal visible soot when used as directed. This comes down to the materials we choose and how our candles are formulated.
Our candles are made using a paraffin-free blend of soy and coconut wax. Unlike traditional paraffin wax, soy and coconut waxes are plant-based and are known to burn at a lower temperature. This helps the candle melt more evenly, extend burn time, and reduce visible soot.
We pair our wax blend with lead-free, cotton wicks that are carefully selected to suit the composition of each candle. When correctly sized and trimmed, these wicks support a steady flame and consistent burn.
To ensure the cleanest burn experience, we recommend allowing the first burn to fully melt the surface of the candle (approx. 2 hours), trimming the wick regularly, and avoiding burn times longer than four hours. Draft-free placement also helps maintain an even flame and optimal performance.
Together, these considered choices allow our candles to deliver a clean, consistent burn while maintaining fragrance performance and longevity — exactly as intended.
We are passionate about making environmentally conscious decisions across our brand — from sourcing our raw materials and glass vessels to our packaging choices.
• Our vessels are made from borosilicate glass, handcrafted to a considered design that priorities longevity and integrity long after the candle has burned. Each vessel is fully reusable, and upcycling is something we actively encourage within our community.
• Our candles are housed in recyclable packaging. We encourage customers to dispose of packaging responsibly according to their household recycling guidelines, so materials can be recycled and reused.
• Across our supply chain, we aim to minimise the use of single-use plastics wherever possible. Our mailers and packing materials are made using recycled cardboard and bio-fill packing peanuts derived from corn starch, which are biodegradable and water soluble.
• While we recognise that no brand is perfectly sustainable, we are committed to continuously improving our practices and making more considered choices each year, with the long-term goal of becoming an even more responsible and sustainable brand.
We spend a lot of time refining our formulas to get the balance just right. Our scents are designed to gently fill a space and enhance everyday moments, without feeling overpowering.
Because we use a plant-based soy and coconut wax blend, fragrance throw may feel a little softer than some paraffin-based candles, allowing the scent to disperse more naturally as the candle burns.
