Your Max Benjamin candle is made with 100% natural wax, lead-free wicks and contains essential and fragrance oils which all make it unique. Your candle needs a little TLC to get the most from it.
A few tips:
- Ā When lighting your candle for the first time, always let it burn until the first layer of wax is fully melted and the pool of wax reaches the glass. This will ensure a more even burn.
- Keep the wick trimmed to the length it was when new.
- Do not burn for more than four hours at a time.
- When the candle is lit do not touch the glass, leave it unattended in a draught or near any fabrics, curtains or flammable objects.
- Do not place the lid on the candle until the wax has cooled down and hardened again.Ā

Diffusers are fantastic for giving a constant, controlled fragrance in a room.
Place all reeds in your diffuser to fill your room with fragrance. Our diffusers will last for up to 4 to 5 months and when itās time you can simply re-use your vessel and refill it with our best selling diffuser refills; available in all our Classic fragrances.

At Max Benjamin we love a refill and so hereās a few pointers to ensure you will love them too. Every sustainable step is a good one.

Add all 12 fresh new reeds, sit back and enjoy as the fragrance oil is absorbed and begins to diffuse. Please allow up to 24 hours for the fragrance to fully diffuse.
Our diffusers, and diffuser refills, will last up to 4 or 5 months.
Car Fragrance Refill
