The classic taper candle was the very first candle to be dipped in our production, and even though this was more than 35 years ago, it continues to be our best-selling candle by far. The candle’s fine, pointed top has always made it unique – a distinctive feature from which it derives the elegant, slender look that distinguishes it as an ester & erik candle.

Material: The candle is made of 100% pure fragrance-free paraffin wax from Europe’s leading producer. The candle is produced at our factory in Denmark, and the wick is made of 100% cotton.

Foot: The foot of the candle is conical in shape, which means that the candle fits most candle holders.

Self-extinguishing: The candle is self-extinguishing, so the flame dies out 2-3 centimeters from the bottom (however, we recommend to never leave lit candles unattended).

Extinguishing guide: We recommend using a candle extinguisher to extinguish the candle. This avoids smoke, and ensures that the candle is completely extinguished, thus preventing the wick from smouldering. A candle extinguisher will completely extinguish the burning wick, so the wick remains intact.
For candles with a lacquer, gold or silver coating, it is important – after putting out the candle with an extinguisher – to remove the outermost layer of lacquer from the depression around the wick so that the candle can be relit without any difficulty.

Candle-burning tips: To ensure that the candle burns in the best possible way, we recommend keeping the wick short, placing candles min. 10 cm apart, and avoiding placing candles in draughts or above a radiator.

 

High-quality wax candles 

The quality of a candle is determined by the quality of the raw materials, and for more than 35 years we have – uncompromisingly – used the same good raw materials to create natural candles without any artificial additives. All our candles are made using paraffin wax with the highest possible melting point, which means that our candles burn more slowly; in fact, 30% longer than other candles.

The purest wax available

Our candles are made of 100% paraffin wax, a pure mineral product derived from crude oil. Contrary to what many believe, crude oil has nothing to do with petrol. Crude oil only becomes petrol once it is refined, but before that stage the paraffin wax is isolated and used for producing candles, for example.
The quality of the candles depends on the purity of the paraffin wax which is used. Our candles are made from the most highly refined paraffin wax – in other words, you will not find a cleaner product from a more natural raw material.
In terms of sustainability, paraffin wax has the smallest carbon footprint and the least environmental impact of all waxes.
