Precautions Guide
Using scent should feel effortless and grounding — but it also needs to be safe.This guide gathers the most important tips for burning incense, using candles, room sprays, and perfumes at home. A few small habits can keep your space comfortable, your air clean, and your rituals peaceful.
Incense: Wands, Cones & Sticks
Burning Tips-
Always place incense on a heat-resistant holder and keep it away from curtains, plants, papers, and anything flammable. Allow enough airflow in the room, but avoid strong drafts that may blow ash around. If you live with pets or small children, burn incense only in a supervised area and avoid enclosed spaces.
Never leave incense unattended. Once the smoke stops, wait for the ash to cool before discarding it.
Candle Care
Candles
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn to prevent soot and uneven flames. Let your candle burn long enough to melt the top layer fully — this prevents tunneling and extends the candle’s life.
Place candles on a stable, heat-safe surface and keep them away from fabrics, shelves, and drafts. Stop burning when only a small layer of wax is left. Never leave a candle burning overnight or while you’re out of the room.
How to Use
Essential Oil Sprays
Shake well before spraying and avoid direct contact with skin or eyes. Do not spray onto delicate fabrics, leather, unfinished wood, or electronic surfaces, as natural oils may leave marks.
If you have pets — especially cats — use room sprays lightly and with good ventilation. Store bottles away from sunlight and high heat to protect the oils.
Wear & Store
Eau de Parfum
Apply fragrance on pulse points only, and avoid spraying on silk or sensitive materials. For sensitive skin, test on a small area first. Keep your perfume away from direct sunlight and close the cap tightly after each use to preserve the scent.
