RIGAUD CANDLE ETIQUETTE: ARTFUL LIVING

Trim the wick, allow the wax to liquefy, and light your Rigaud candle to embrace the French art of living beautifully.

The moment of lighting a candle is a sacred ritual, a quiet pause that fills your space with warmth, fragrance, and light. It sets the tone for how you wish to feel and live. In lighting a Rigaud candle, you honor both beauty and care for your surroundings, and for yourself.

Trim the Wick
Before each use, trim it to about a quarter inch. A short wick ensures a clean, even flame — delicate smoke, pure scent, and a soft, steady glow.

Let the Wax Liquefy
Allow the entire surface to melt before extinguishing your candle. This simple act of patience prevents tunneling and preserves Rigaud’s signature symmetry.

Extinguish with Elegance
Use the candle’s top lid snuffer to gently extinguish the flame without blowing. This method prevents smoke, keeps the wax surface pure, and maintains Rigaud’s distinctive clarity of fragrance.

Burn Mindfully
Enjoy your candle for up to three hours at a time to maintain the perfect fragrance balance and keep the vessel pristine. When finished, open a window and let fresh air mingle with the lingering scent.

Each gesture is part of the Rigaud ritual — a way to slow down, live intentionally, and let fragrance transform your space.
