Our shipping boxes are designed to be sturdy, but if your candle arrives damaged, please email us at dara@houseofgoodmercantile.com with a photo and your order number. We'll take care of the issue promptly.

Unfortunately, we don't have "tried and true" testers. However! We created the Liten Duo for this exact reason. They are smaller sized candles and sold as a set of two for you to explore different scents (or keep one and gift the other) before purchasing the larger Først candle.

Our candle scents are designed to be unisex, appealing to both men and women. We carefully design fragrances that create a balanced and inviting atmosphere for everyone.

Our candle packages are so beautiful. Both the Liten Duo and Først come in a uniquely-crafted tube with HoG branding that needs nothing more than a note! We can provide a personalized hand-written card, just fill out the "note" section upon check-out.

Yes, the Først is designed to be both a candle and a taper holder. After the initial candle is burned through, you can remove any remaining wax, flip it over, and use it as a candelabra with the provided taper candle.

Our candles are made with all-natural soy/coconut wax and no artificial coloring. This means the wax can vary in color from white to cream depending on factors like temperature and light exposure. We embrace this natural variation as a sign of our commitment to using pure, natural ingredients.

To reduce smoking and prevent a mushroom tip on the wick, trim the wick to 1/4” before burning. Keep the candle out of drafts and avoid burning it for more than 3 hours at a time.
