Care & Ritual

Wax roses, plates & trays

• Display them away from direct sunlight, windows and heat sources (cars, ovens, radiators) so they keep their shape and colour, especially in a Cairo summer.
• Dust gently with a soft, dry brush.
• Keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Lighting a candle

• The first light: let the wax melt evenly across the surface before you put it out, so it burns evenly afterwards.
• Each time: trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting.
• Place it on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from drafts, curtains and anything that can catch fire.
• Never leave a lit candle unattended. Put it out before you leave the room or go to sleep.
• Stop using a candle when about 1 cm of wax remains.

The ritual

Place. Light. Breathe. Choose a quiet corner, light it as the evening begins, and let the scent settle into the room.
