Question 1

What type of wax do you use?

Accepted Answer

All House of Aura candles are made with 100% pure soy wax — a clean-burning, non-toxic, and eco-friendly alternative to paraffin wax. Better for you, better for your space.

Question 2

Are your candles handmade?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every single candle is hand-poured in small batches from our home studio in India. From fragrance testing to packaging — everything is made personally with a lot of care and intention.

Question 3

Do your candles have a strong scent throw?

Accepted Answer

Our candles are made with 100% pure soy wax, which naturally has a mild fragrance hold — giving you a clean, subtle scent experience that isn't overwhelming. For a stronger scent throw, we increase the fragrance percentage or work with a custom wax blend depending on your preference. This is available as part of our customisation options — just reach out to us on WhatsApp to discuss what works best for you.

Question 4

How long do your candles burn?

Accepted Answer

Burn times vary by size:

35g → approx. 8–10 hours
80g → approx. 20–25 hours
150g → approx. 35–40 hours
200g → approx. 45–50 hours

Actual burn time may vary depending on environment, wick trimming, and usage habits.

Question 5

Are there slight variations in handmade products?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and we consider that part of their charm. Since every candle is hand-poured, slight variations in colour, texture, or appearance are natural and not defects. Each piece is uniquely yours.
