Discover WickFriends candles – craftsmanship, fragrance & sustainability
DochtFreunde candles represent loving craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and fragrances that transform rooms into true sanctuaries . Each candle is hand-poured in a small factory in the Southern Black Forest—a region known for its close-to-nature lifestyle and traditional craftsmanship ( more about the Black Forest ). This creates unique pieces that captivate with their individual details and are far more than simple light sources.
Natural materials – 100% vegan soy wax
All DochtFreunde candles are made from vegan soy wax . This material is considered particularly sustainable because it is biodegradable, burns cleanly, and offers a long-lasting fragrance experience. Unlike paraffin candles, soy wax candles are petroleum-free, making them an environmentally friendly alternative. The wax is complemented by vegan fragrance oils and natural decorative elements such as dried flowers, orange slices, or spices. This creates unique candles with aesthetic appeal and authentic character.
Variety of fragrances – from sparkling to sensual
The candles range from fresh citrus notes to warm, gourmand scents like walnut and vanilla. Whether invigorating citrus scents for summer or warming blends for autumn and winter, each candle is designed to create a unique ambiance. The harmonious fragrance blends unfold evenly, transforming your home into an oasis of calm.

Application tips for your candles
To ensure you can enjoy your candles safely and for a long time, we have put together some practical tips:
-
First burn: When lighting the candle for the first time, let it burn until the surface is completely liquid. This avoids "tunneling" and maximizes the burn time.
-
Wick care: Regularly trim the cotton wick to about 5 mm to ensure a steady flame and little soot.
-
Placement: Place the candle on a fireproof surface and keep it away from drafts, pets, and children.
-
Decorative elements: Carefully remove dried flowers or orange slices with tweezers if they could get caught in the flame.
-
Extinguishing technique: Instead of simply blowing out the candle, gently dip the wick into the liquid wax. This avoids smoke and ensures a pleasant fragrance the next time you light it.
With these simple steps, you'll extend the lifespan of your candle and ensure consistent, safe burning. At the same time, the fragrance experience remains intense and authentic—just as the makers of WickFriends candles intended.
