The Story of the Fragrance Mushroom
When burning Aspen Bay Candles, wicks will develop a black "fragrance mushroom". This "fragrance mushroom" is caused
by the high volume of fragrance oils which have made our "Fragrances with Wicks" so popular. A wick serves as a straw
when burning, pulling the fragrance oil through the wax and releasing the fragrance into the air as it burns. Aspen Bay
Candles' "fragrance mushroom" is a constant reminder to you of our dedication to quality and your enjoyment. When a "fragrance
mushroom" is formed, gently blow out the flame, let cool, trim wick to 1/8"-1/4" and relight. Without this simple attention,
the "fragrance mushroom" could smoke and cause an oversized flame.
Our Wicks are Lead Free!
We have always used only American-made zinc core wicks, which are more expensive than plain cotton wicks and which
give you the advantage of an easy-to-light (or relight) wick. When using a cotton wick, if the top of the candle liquefies
and it is blown out, the wick in many cases will be submerged, and it is necessary to "dig" to relight the candle. The
zinc wick is 100% environmentally safe and has no relationship to a lead wick. By using a zinc wick, you will experience
a longer-burning and more even-burning candle.
