As a company that's run by firefighters and employs family members of first responders, we're extra passionate about fire and candle safety. Follow these tips to get the safest, cleanest and longest-lasting burn from your candles.

  • The first burn is the most important. When lighting your candle for the first time, make sure you wait until the wax has melted evenly across the candle. By ensuring the whole surface has melted before you extinguish your candle, you'll avoid tunnelling and help your candle last longer.

  • Before re-lighting your candle, make sure you trim it to a 1/4 inch to ensure the smoothest possible burn and to ensure the flame doesn’t get too high.

  • When there’s 1/2 inch of wax left at the end of your jar, it’s time to restock! to get the very most use of those last bits of wax, you can pop your candle in the freezer, chip out the remaining wax with a spoon, and melt it in a wax melter.

  • Don’t leave your candles unattended or light them before falling asleep. a watched fire is a safe fire.

  • Make sure your candle is out of reach of kids, pets, and your friend who becomes a bit of a pyromaniac after a few drinks.

Best Smelling Candles Ever

I have purchased The Hermit and I Walk the Line and I cannot decide which I like better. They are heavenly and make my entire house smell wonderful. For such a small candle, they sure put out the good scents! I feel like they're a bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it. If the company had a "candle club" where you get points for every item you purchase that would be nice. I would be at the top of the list! I purchase for myself and for gifts. I hope they never change the "recipe" for these candles as they are perfection now.

I would say the Hermit & Gold Dust Woman are my favourite scents by Shy Wolf! They engulf the whole home in yummy scents.

Smells good but not what I expected

This candle has a really clean subtle smell. Definitely not as strong as some of their other scents that I love (Harvest Season, I Walk the Line). The tobacco and coffee are really subtle.

Sweet and rich

I love this candle - it smells very sweet, it gives me an eggnog kind of feel, actually. It’s a rich, baking kind of smell, and the throw is strong. I love that, personally, and will definitely buy it again.
