Inspiration

ESSENCE is a reflection of identity, heritage, and the core of who we are. This candle, with its rich medley of spices and oriental scents, celebrates my cultural roots and the wisdom of life passed down through generations. It's a statement that beneath the layers of modernity, there lies a deep well of tradition and heritage, waiting to be discovered and understood.

I stand proudly for who I am and where I come from. In a society that often underappreciates the beauty of diversity in cultures and races, ESSENCE serves as a beacon of pride and connection, inviting you to explore the depths of your own cultural identity and breathe in the richness of humanity in all of us.

Materials & Sustainability

Each Live With Hu candle is crafted with carefully selected materials to ensure a clean, long-lasting, and eco-conscious experience:

  • Wax: A luxurious blend of natural soy wax, coconut wax, and beeswax for a smooth, even burn.
  • Fragrance: A combination of essential oils and non-toxic fragrance oils, free from parabens and phthalates.
  • Wick: FSC-certified natural wood wick, offering a soothing crackle as it burns.
  • Wick clip: Made from ultra-thin, recyclable metal to stabilize the wick and maintain a safe flame height.
  • Container: A premium white ceramic jar, elegant, durable, and designed for reuse.

We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact. Our materials are thoughtfully sourced both locally and globally to support sustainability without compromising quality.

Candle Care Guide

For the best experience and longevity, follow these care tips before, during, and after each use:

  • Trim the Wick: Before every use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to ensure a clean, even burn.
  • First Burn Matters: Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
  • Burn Safely: Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable objects, children, and pets.
  • Limit Burn Time: Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time to maintain a safe flame size.
  • Extinguish with Care: Use a snuffer or place the lid on top for a few seconds to minimize smoke and preserve the fragrance.
  • Stay Vigilant: Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Maximizing the Value of Your Candle

We want you to experience the full beauty and potential of your Live With Hu candle. To help you make the most of it, here are some tips on fragrance performance, candle lifespan, and intentional use.

Fragrance Longevity & Intensity

The strength and duration of your candle’s fragrance depend on several factors, such as room size, temperature, sunlight exposure, and ventilation. A few ways to enhance the scent’s impact:

  • Place the candle in smaller or enclosed spaces if you desire a more concentrated aroma.
  • Close windows or reduce airflow to prevent the fragrance from dispersing too quickly.
  • Use multiple candles in larger areas to maintain a consistent scent.
Extend Your Candle’s Lifespan

A little care goes a long way toward making your candle last:

  • Always keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch to ensure a stable flame and a clean burn.
  • Allow the wax to melt fully across the surface during each use to prevent tunneling.
  • Store your candle in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve its fragrance and quality.
Essence – A Candle for Authenticity

Each Live With Hu candle is crafted to evoke a unique memory, inspiring self-discovery, introspection, and growth. Essence honors the journey of self-identification, encouraging you to embrace your roots and live authentically. With a grounding, warm fragrance, it’s perfect for moments of solitude, journaling, or meditation—inviting you to reconnect with who you are and where you come from. Light this candle as a reminder to stay true to yourself, no matter where life takes you.
