• Your Candle's Journey

    Our candles and scents are made-to-order in our Southern Maine candle studio by artisans who care about scent, stories, and experiences. And that's why we say you'll enjoy a "scent-story" experience when you light up a Perch and Cove candle!

    As we hand pour each candle, during the busier holiday season your order may take up to 5 business days to process (before shipping) but it's well worth the wait as what you'll receive is anything but basic and ordinary.

    You’ll receive email updates as your order moves through production, and if you have any questions along the way, we’re just a message away.

  • Your Candle's Journey

    1) For the first burn, let the candle burn for up to 3 hours depending on the size of your candle, or until the melt "pool" reaches the edge. This prevents the candle from tunneling. Natural coco-soy candles have memory.

    2) Always trim your cotton wicks to 1/4 inch, and your wooden wicks to 1/8 inch before lighting your candle.

    If your wick is too long, the flame will be too big and can become a fire hazard. Nail clippers work great for trimming wooden wicks.

    3) Clear any debris from your candle wax before burning, including any soot build-up on the wick. This will help your candle to last longer and burn cleaner.

    4.) Never burn your candle near a draft or near anything flammable.

    5) Always place your candle on a non-flammable surface. All candle vessels will get hot. Be sure to place your candle on a proper candle holder or heat-safe surface that will not burn or ignite. 

    6) Never leave a candle unattended. Like never. Ever.

    7) Sit back, and enjoy your candles. 

    Perch and Cove candles are meant to transport you to distant shores, windswept moors, a cozy cabin in the woods, a roaring fireplace in an old country pub, a holiday market in a quaint New England town, and bring the feeling of light and warmth to your own cozy nook.


    Enjoy the fully immersive experiences that Perch and Cove's collections provide whenever you need a well-deserved respite, cheerful pick-me-up, creative inspiration, or when you just want to immerse yourself in your favorite book, fairytale, film, or fantasy novel.
