Frequently asked questions
How do I make my candle burn evenly and last longer?
For best results, burn the candle until the entire surface is melted upon first use – at least 1 hour. Always trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each lighting and avoid leaving the candle exposed to drafts. Do not burn for more than 2 hours at a time (4 hours for larger candles).
How long is the delivery time?
As all our candles are made to order with the utmost care, delivery time is usually 3-5 working days, ensuring you receive a fresh, handmade product with the perfect scent and finish.
What ingredients do you use in the candles?
We only use natural and non-toxic waxes: golden rapeseed wax, beeswax and golden soy wax. The wax comes from Sweden, and each candle is poured by hand in Skåne.
What is the difference between beeswax, rapeseed wax and soy wax?
• Beeswax burns the longest and gives a warm, natural light
• Rapeseed wax is vegan and burns very cleanly
• Soy wax provides strong fragrance diffusion and a smooth surface
All three are environmentally friendly and 100% natural.
Are your candles safe to use indoors?
Yes! Our candles are manufactured in accordance with the CLP regulation and do not contain any harmful substances. They do not emit smoke or toxins and are safe to use at home – even around children and pets (under supervision).
How strong a scent do your candles have?
The strength of the scent is affected by the size of the room. One candle is enough for approximately 10 m². In larger or open spaces, we recommend 2–3 candles for an even and clear scent distribution.
What makes Dofty unique?
Dofty is a family business from Skåne that creates candles with love, precision and imagination. All products are handmade to order, non-toxic and natural – a sustainable choice for both the home and the environment.
Furthermore, by purchasing raw materials from Swedish producers instead of from other countries, we promote the growth of the Swedish business community – of which we ourselves are a part.
Can I give your candles as a gift?
Of course! Our candles are perfect as personal gifts, and we offer gift wrapping and decoration if needed – whether for birthdays, holidays, weddings or housewarming gifts.
How should I store the candle when I'm not using it?
Store the candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Cover it with a lid or some foil to protect the wax from dust and preserve the scent longer.
Do you have a physical store I can visit?
Yes! You are warmly welcome to our store in the city center of Landskrona, where you can smell the candles, discover our plant terrariums and get help choosing the perfect gift.
