Scented Sand Care Guide

Why choose Scented Sand?

It's the new and creative way to scent your home, pour the scented sand into any container of your choice. Repurpose old jars, glasses, or decorative holders to create unique and decorative candles. Bring your home to life with clean burning refillable scented sand.

  • Highly scented
    Pre scened with our iconic signature Black fragrance, your home will be filled with luxurious fragrance ... even when the candle is not lit. 

  • Get Creative
    Scented sand can be customised in ways that traditional wax candles cannot. Simply pour it into bowls of any shape and design* to create a statement centre piece in your home. 

  • Like new every time
    Simply remove the cooled wick and gently shake to smooth the surface -no need to worry about tunnelling or dust collecting candles.

  • Repurpose & reuse
    Minimise waste by refilling and reusing existing containers. When you’re ready to switch vessels, simply pour the scented sand into a new one - no need for a labor-intensive candle jar cleaning routine.

Vessel choice tips:

  • Recycle your old glass and ceramic candle jars!
  • Heat resistant tempered glass can withstand high temperatures without shattering making it an ideal vessel choice. Thin or recycled glass is not recommended.
  • Oven safe ceramic is suitable.
  • Wood is not recommended, as it can easily burn or char when exposed to high temperatures. If you choose to use a wooden vessel please ensure it is under supervision at all times. 
  • Cylindrical shapes work best!
  • Always read the instructions provided to ensure safe wick placement into your chosen vessel

Tips for the wicks:

1. Don't leave long wicks.

Ensure 0.5cm of the wick is sticking out of the wax sand, just enough to light it, if not the wick will burn down too quickly.

2. Leave enough room.

To prevent the melt pool from reaching the edge of the container make sure there is a minimum of 4cm of wax sand around the wick.


3. Cut to size (if required)

You can cut the wicks to the desired height, depending on your container depth. We recommend that you keep at least 2-3cm of sand under the wick, allowing the wick to self-extinguish before it reaches the container.

4. Leave to cool.

After the flame has been extinguished, leave to cool completely, the solidified wax pool and wick can be easily removed.


Enhance your home ambiance with scented sand and indulge in the art of crafting beautiful, decorative candles.
