Are these candles safe to burn indoors?
A: Yes, as long as you follow basic candle safety guidelines. Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep them out of reach of children and pets. Trim the wick
to about ¼ inch before each use to prevent excessive smoking.
What if I don't like overly strong scents?
