Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose your personalized candle?

Depending on your use and your budget, it is important to choose the right candle to personalize. Beyond its design which must meet your taste or the aesthetics of your brand (verrines, metal candles, etc.), you must be particularly attentive to its size which determines its burning time. If you want to introduce a fragrance or offer a special gift, you can opt for small sizes (70g, 100g), if on the contrary you want to perfume your establishment sustainably or offer a gift that lasts, you can choose a format large or even very large size (600gr, 1500gr).

Once the design and format have been chosen, it is important to decide on the quality of the wax. At Bougies Made In Paris, we only produce 100% vegetable wax candles to meet the best standards of quality and durability. However, there are mineral wax candles (paraffin for example) on the market. These waxes are advantageous in price but less efficient environmentally.

The wicks are the second determining element in the making of your candle. They can be made of wood, polyester, cotton or plant material. At Bougies Made In Paris, we have made the choice - for you - to only work with cotton wicks.
