Questions, answered
Everything you might want to know before lighting your first beeswax candle.
See all questionsAre your candles pure beeswax?
Yes. Every Miel Cire candle is pure beeswax, with no paraffin or soy. Most are hand-poured from 100% natural Australian beeswax.
Where are they made?
In Killarney, on Queensland's Southern Downs, by a small independent chandlery working with Australian beeswax.
Do they have a scent?
No fragrance is added. Beeswax has its own faint, natural scent of honey when it burns. The Serenity Jar is fully unscented.
How long do they burn?
It depends on the size. The 20cm Classic Pillar burns for about 60 hours, votives for about 15 hours and tealights for about 5. See our burn time guide.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is free Australia-wide on orders over $75, and a $10 flat rate below that. Orders are dispatched within 5–7 business days. Shipping details.
Can I return a candle?
If anything arrives faulty or damaged, we'll replace or refund it under the Australian Consumer Law. We don't offer change-of-mind returns. Returns and refunds.
What is the white film on my candle?
That's bloom, a natural sign of pure beeswax. Wipe it away with a soft, dry cloth to bring back the shine.
Is there a discount for first orders?
Yes. Join the Miel Cire list and you'll get 5% off your first order.
