Some people get a headache, a tickly throat, or itchy eyes from a scented candle. Sometimes it is the fragrance. Sometimes it is the smoke from a wick that has not been trimmed since Christmas. Treat those as different problems.
Smoke first
Trim to 5mm, still room, one candle, window cracked. If the symptoms vanish, it was the burn, not the oil. Black glass is a clue. Soot.
Fragrance next
If a clean, still candle still bothers you, that scent is not for you. Heavy florals and big vanillas are common culprits. Our landscape candles are not “unscented”, but they are built as places rather than as perfume. Try a smaller room test before you commit to an evening.
We use vegan soy-coconut and cotton wicks. We are not a medical manufacturer. If you have asthma that flares around any fragrance, unscented beeswax is the internet’s usual advice — we do not make beeswax, on purpose, because we are vegan. An open window and a shorter burn is the practical middle. Longer on health and scented candles.
