Maman medium candles are designed for balanced soy and coconut wax blends that deliver a clean, even burn. They combine subtle fragrance layers with a smooth glass vessel that suits relaxed home styling.
Each maman medium size is tuned for gentle scent throw and long-lasting performance. Choosing the right wick and jar pairing ensures a consistent melt pool and minimal soot.

| Palm-free soy wax | Medium ceramic or concrete vessel | 40–50 hours | Gentle diffusion with high fragrance load | Wooden or braided wick |

Fragrance Profile and Scent Families
Top, middle, and base notes
Maman medium candles usually open with fresh top notes like citrus, herb, or light florals. The heart reveals soft florals or airy spices, while the base settles into vanilla, woods, or musk for a lingering finish.
Seasonal suitability
These candles are versatile across seasons. Light blends work in spring and summer, while warmer spice and vanilla accents make them suitable for autumn and mild winters.
Wax Formulation and Performance
Soy and coconut advantages
Soy and coconut wax holds fragrance well and burns cooler than paraffin. It tends to produce less soot and allows for a wider melt pool, improving scent diffusion in medium-sized rooms.
Glass vessel durability
The medium glass jar is chosen for heat resistance and a clean surface. It supports a stable burn and is easy to clean or repurpose once the candle is finished.
Burning and Care Guidelines
First burn best practices
On the first use, let the wax melt to the edges of the jar for about one hour per inch of diameter. This sets a consistent memory ring and prevents tunneling.
Ongoing maintenance
Trim the wick to 6–8 mm before each burn, keep debris out of the wax, and avoid drafts to maintain an even flame and steady scent throw.
Recommended Practices for Everyday Use
- Always burn on a heat-resistant, level surface away from flammable items
- Keep the wick centered and trimmed to reduce excess smoke
- Limit single burn sessions to four hours for optimal performance
- Protect the candle from drafts and direct sunlight during storage
- Use a snuffer or lid to extinguish gently and preserve wax quality
