Question 1

How long does a Casa Nochi candle burn?

Accepted Answer

Every Casa Nochi candle gives you 50+ hours of clean, even burn. The vessel holds 220g of coconut-apricot wax, hand-poured in London E16. Burn time depends on you: keep sessions to 2-4 hours, trim the wick to 5mm before each light, and you will reach the upper end of that range. Push past 4 hours and you waste wax to evaporation. At £29.99 with a 50+ hour minimum, that works out to roughly 60p an hour - cheaper than a candle-lit pub.

Question 2

What wax is Casa Nochi made from?

Accepted Answer

Coconut and apricot wax, blended. No paraffin, no soy, no palm. Coconut burns cleaner and throws scent further than soy; apricot adds a slower, smoother melt pool. The result is a candle that fills a room without smoke, soot, or the headache you get from a £6 supermarket jar. The blend is also vegan and biodegradable. We chose it for performance, not press releases - every test against soy and paraffin in our kitchen confirmed coconut-apricot was the right call.

Question 3

Are Casa Nochi candles vegan, phthalate-free, and lead-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes to all three. The wax is plant-based (coconut-apricot, no beeswax), the fragrance oils are IFRA-certified and phthalate-free, and the wick is a cotton-paper braid with no lead, no zinc core. Nothing is tested on animals at any point in the supply chain. We picked these specs before we picked the scents - a luxury candle that gives you a headache at hour two is not luxury, it is theatre. The black matte glass is recyclable, the parchment label is compostable.

Question 4

Do I need to trim the wick?

Accepted Answer

Yes - to 5mm before every single burn. An untrimmed wick mushrooms, throws soot onto the glass, and burns the wax too fast. Use a wick trimmer or a pair of nail scissors; the wick should look like a clean black stub, not a flag. Trim while the wax is solid, never while it's molten. This one habit doubles your throw and adds 10+ hours to the candle's life. It is the single difference between a candle that lasts 40 hours and one that lasts 60.

Question 5

What does Aurora Verde smell like?

Accepted Answer

Fig leaf, jasmine, palo santo. The brightest green candle in the Casa Nochi range. The closest UK alternative to Diptyque Figuier at half the price (£29.99 vs £62).

Question 6

Is Aurora Verde like Diptyque Figuier?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the closest Casa Nochi candle to Figuier. Same fig-leaf top, similar woody base, with Andean palo santo replacing Figuier's cedar register. Half the price at £29.99, coconut-apricot vs paraffin-vegetable wax. Full comparison at /compare/casa-nochi-vs-diptyque.

Question 7

Is Aurora Verde a summer candle?

Accepted Answer

Strongest in summer and early autumn. Fig leaf is the green-tomato-vine top note that reads brightest in warm weather. Burns 50+ hours in a 220g vessel at £29.99.

Question 8

Best room for Aurora Verde?

Accepted Answer

Daytime living rooms with hardwood floors, home studios, kitchens with herbs growing. Aurora Verde is the most-bought Casa Nochi candle for homes with east-facing windows.
