Your questions, our answers
Choosing a scented candle is first and foremost a matter of ambiance and olfactory preferences. To guide you, Philippe K. has created a scent quiz that helps you discover the candle that best suits you. It is based on several criteria: your favorite scent (fresh, floral, woody, or warmer), the occasion for which the candle is intended, and the time of day you will light it. In just a few questions, find the creation that will bring your home an olfactory signature that reflects you.
Since 2015, Philippe K Switzerland has been creating high-end perfumed candles. Each is designed as a memory: it captures a genuine emotion, born from childhood, the present, or dreams.
- Exceptional ingredients : rare raw materials, a plant-based wax, and a lead-free wick.
- A fragrance of rare intensity : concentrated at 12 to 15%, it makes our creations one of the most intensely scented candles on the market.
- Expertise between Switzerland and Grasse : designed and packaged in Switzerland, notably within a workshop employing people with disabilities, our candles are poured in Grasse, ensuring a perfect harmony between wax and fragrance.
- A long burn time : 45 to 50 hours.
Burn time is important for your candle to release its fragrance properly and last a long time.
First burn: let the candle burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the entire surface of the wax has melted to the edges of the container. If you extinguish it too soon, the wax may sink in the center. This is known as "tunneling," which eventually smothers the wick.
Subsequent burns: let the entire surface melt again each time, without burning for more than 4 hours at a time.
A few simple steps will help preserve your candle and ensure a clean, even burn.
- Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each lighting. If a small black bulb has formed at the tip, always remove it before relighting the candle.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts.
- Do not move the candle while the wax is liquid.
- Never leave it burning unattended.
- Discontinue use when about 1 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the container.

Yes, this is normal. A fine crack or a slightly marbled surface on a Philippe K. candle is not a defect: it is the sign of a 100% natural wax, without paraffin or additives. This mark disappears upon the first lighting, when the wax melts over its entire surface.
Why does my candle have a crack?
Philippe K. candles are poured in a natural wax formulated in Grasse, composed of soy wax, coconut oil and beeswax. This wax is said to be "living": like honey that crystallizes in the cold, it shrinks and expands according to temperature variations, during transport, storage or the change of season. A wrinkle can then deepen on its surface, and its ivory tint can appear marbled.
Why are other candles perfectly smooth?
The perfectly smooth and uniform surface of many candles is obtained with paraffin, a wax derived from petroleum. This inert material does not react to changes in temperature, hence its unchanging appearance. A natural wax, on the other hand, evolves: the crack is the visible proof of its authenticity.
