Seda France^TM Candles was launched in 2001, but our inspiration springs from the classic French design element that is over 200 years old. Toile de Jouy, commonly called Toile, is a process for printing on cotton that was invented by a young French fabric manufacturer in 1759. Traditional motifs are inspired by the French countryside and typically include scenes of pastoral life and village festivals. Seda France offers a new interpretation of this established classic with the visually arresting colors featured in our Toile line. Our hand-poured candles are presented in a variety of fresh colors that make elegantly presented gifts so beautiful that they don’t need to be wrapped. We use only the finest candle grade fragrance oils in each of our offerings that are especially notable for their long-lasting strength. Take a peek at our best selling items which include the Edition Limitee, votive sets, and room mists which complete a collection that brings the romance of France into your home. Our newest additions include Bougie a la Senteur de The, our tea inspired candle line filled with our signature soy blend wax fragranced with the rich aromas of first-harvest tea leaves and savory spices.

In that same Seda France tradition, the l’Occasion candle line was introduced in 2002. Handsomely packaged in a signature yellow gift box with double-faced satin ribbons adorned with messages printed in both French and English, these hand-poured candles feature carefully selected fragrances that enhance your surroundings for a truly unique sensory experience. Special occasion candles in elegant red boxes are available for Valentine’s Day and the Christmas Holidays.

The success of Seda France continues to fuel our product expansion and the Seda France brand have enjoyed widespread recognition in the national media. Our extra attention to detail and hand craftsmanship set us apart, and today our products are available throughout North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia in select gift stores and major shopping centers. More exciting products and expansions are coming soon from Seda France!

Each Seda France candle is hand-poured and carefully crafted to provide you many special moments. Any eventual irregularity in it is simply a confirmation of its authenticity. We want you to enjoy the long-life of each candle and suggest the following simple guidelines to ensure that enjoyment.

The first burn of your new candle is the most important and should be long enough to create a melt pool that goes to the glass edge. Our candles are designed to burn for 2-3 hours at a time which should be adequate for achieving this desired melt pool. Our smaller occasion candles should burn across in less time than the larger candles which may require at least 3 hours for a complete burn pool. Any less time than this may cause the candles to “tunnel” or burn down the center with too much wax unused. And burning for periods longer than 2-3 hours will increase the intensity of the flame creating excess carbon that may smoke. Our candles should not smoke if proper care is taken of the wicks. We suggest trimming the wick to 1/4 inch before each use, keeping the candle out of drafts, and again, limiting burning time to 2-3 hours. If at any time your candle wick starts to smoke, please review the previous precautions; it may be necessary to extinguish the candle and trim the wick again. Taking these simple steps will prolong the life of your candle and allow you to enjoy it as intended.

If your candle is not allowed to burn long enough to melt the wax to the glass edge and starts to tunnel, you can correct this by burning the candle longer on the subsequent use. However, do not trim the wick when attempting this type of correction and allow the candle to burn long enough to melt the entire surface which may exceed the aforementioned 3 hours. Once the correction is made you must always continue to follow the initial instructions regarding burn times, wick length, etc.

All of our wicks are lead-free, and each of our fragrances is matched with the best size wick that will insure the desired melt pool. You may notice a shiny center in some of our wicks which is zinc oxide that creates stability in the wick and allows it to stay centered as the wax melts. Not all of our wicks have this, and as your candle burns, it may be necessary to re-center your wick to maintain an optimum burn. Also, if you notice the flame throws too much in one direction, it might be necessary to re-center your wick and/or adjust toward the unmelted wax.

Finally, always place your candles on heat resistant level surfaces and out of the reach of children. Keep your candles free of foreign objects and never leave a lit candle unattended or in a draft.
