Notes
This candle should burn for a few hours, depending on the container, wick, and amount of oil used.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it on a stable, heat-safe surface away from children, pets, drafts, and anything flammable. Do not move the candle while it is burning or while the oil is hot.
