Icebreakers Mintz 3oz Candle

Description

A 3oz novelty candle in the Icebreakers mint scent. Sharp and cool rather than sweet — one of the better options if heavy sugary scents are not for you.

Neutralise, do not mask

An ordinary scented candle layers fragrance over smoke smell and you end up with both. Odour-eliminating candles use enzymes and binding agents that react with the airborne particles. Whichever type you have, light it at the start of a session rather than after, so it is working while the smoke is in the air.

Getting more out of a candle

• First burn: let the melt pool reach the full width of the jar before putting it out, or the candle tunnels and you lose most of the wax.
• Trim the wick to about 5mm before every light — that is what stops soot.
• Four hours maximum per burn, and keep it out of draughts so it burns evenly.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children and pets.

The rest of the job

Most smoke smell in a room comes from the ashtray, not the session — empty it while the ash is cold. A personal air filter handles the exhale. See all candles and odour control.
