What are your candles made of?
We use a natural soy wax blend, clean-burning cotton wicks, and premium fragrance oils. No phthalates, no paraffin, and no nonsense.
How long do your candles burn?
For 9oz candles, the burn time is approximately 40–50 hours, depending on your environment and how well you trim the wick.
For 4oz candles, burn times is approximately 20-25 hours.
How should I care for my candle?
To get the best burn:
– Trim the wick to ¼" before lighting
– Let the wax melt to the edge of the jar on the first burn
– Don’t burn for more than 4 hours at a time
– Never leave a candle unattended (especially during a suspenseful third act)
Why is my candle giving off black smoke?
Black smoke usually means the wick is too long. Before each burn, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. This helps the candle burn cleanly, prevents soot, and extends the life of your candle. A quick trim makes a big difference. Your movie deserves a clear view.
Do you offer gift sets?
Yes, we offer candle bundles and will soon be releasing limited editions and seasonal scent drops. They're perfect for gifting to film lovers, cinephiles, or just treating yourself.
How often do you release new scents?
We aim to release a new film-inspired scent every 3 to 4 months. Each drop is limited in quantity, so once it’s gone, it’s gone (until the reboot).
