As the market for masculine candles (mandle) continues to grow, it can be overwhelming for men to navigate the wide array of options available. To help you make the most informed and satisfying choice, here are some tips for selecting and using men's candles:
-
Identify your scent preferences: Start by considering the types of fragrances you are drawn to, whether it's woody, smoky, or fresh and invigorating. Familiarise yourself with the common notes and accord used in masculine candles, and use this knowledge to guide your selection process.
-
Consider the candle's design and aesthetics: While the fragrance is the primary draw, the overall appearance of the candle can also play a significant role in its appeal. Look for candles with sleek, minimalist, like our piston and grease tin candles or rugged designs such as tyre stacks that align with your personal style, interests and the decor of your living space. Glowsmith also offer customisable candles (custom candles) that allow for any design, any colour candle wax to suit the needs of the owner.
-
Prioritise quality and craftsmanship: When it comes to men's candles, it's worth investing in high-quality products that are crafted with care and attention to detail. Glowsmith candles are made by blending the finest ingredients will provide a long-lasting and consistent scent.
-
Start with smaller sizes: If you're new to the world of man candles, it's a good idea to start with smaller sizes or samplers before committing to larger, more expensive options. This will allow you to experiment with different scents to find the ones that truly resonate with you. You can visit our shop in Derby if you wish to view our current range of scents.
-
Consider the candle's burn time and throw: The burn time of a candle refers to how long it will last, while the throw refers to the fragrance's ability to permeate a room. When selecting a candle, consider the size of the space you intend to use it in and choose a product with an appropriate burn time and throw to ensure optimal fragrance distribution. Glowsmith candles have all been engineered from the ground up meaning we haven't just used ready-made products from big candle suppliers like candle shack, craftovator or supplies for candles.
Instead, we have individually selected the raw materials and, through hours of testing, brought the very scented candle wax. Products such as our large grease tin candle can provide 90 hours of burn time, and our smoked glow candles can release fragrances without even being lit.
-
Rotate your candles: To prevent olfactory fatigue and maintain the novelty of your candle collection, consider rotating the candles you use in your living space. This will help you to appreciate the unique qualities of each scent and prevent your senses from becoming desensitised to a particular fragrance. Products such as our candle holder refills can be used to keep mixing up your scents used at home or in the man cave.
- Follow proper candle-burning safety: Always remember to trim the wick, keep the candle away from flammable materials, and extinguish the flame when the candle is not in use. This will not only ensure your safety but also help extend the life of your candle. Be sure to check out the candle safety printed on the side of the box, the information leaflet, and our website guidelines here.
By following these tips, you can navigate the world of mens candles with confidence and find the perfect scents to enhance your living space, weather it be your living room, lounge, mini bar or man cave. Each of our candles will aid your personal well-being.
Dont forget, they also make the best gifts for men too.
