These are just a few things to consider when diagnosing your mystery flicker. Perhaps you are not home alone, someone walking down the hallway near your room can even do it.Īre you using a ceiling fan? I know this one seems a little obvious but sometimes we forget they are there. If you are moving around your house that can also create enough of a breeze to make your candle flicker. Even if you can not feel it, a candle might.
In addition, a fan blowing in another room can move air through your entire home. If it is strong enough to move a curtain, it is strong enough to disrupt a candle flame. In older homes you can sometimes see the curtains move when a good wind is blowing through.

How old is your home? When is the last time your windows were replaced? Are you sure they are even shut all the way? Do you have weather strips on your doors?Īll of those questions play in to the air movement in your house. As stated above, just because YOU do not feel it, doesn’t mean the candle doesn’t feel it. I know the question suggests that there is no wind, but this is still a possible cause. This inconsistent fuel source can cause the candle to begin flickering more quickly. This can cause it to draw too much wax, which can speed carbon build-up or “mushrooming” on the wick. Why is my candle flickering so fast? When a draft begins to make a candle flicker, it starts burning irregularly. However, what doesn’t feel like much to us is a big deal for a candle flame. This can also affect the rate at which the candle flickers, which can seem odd when you are in a room that doesn’t appear to have much of a draft. In addition, a flame that is getting too much or too little air, or has too much or too little fuel (wax) to burn can also appear to flicker. If they are exposed to a draft it is normal for a candle to flicker as the air moves across the flame.
Something unnoticeable to us can be dramatic to a candle flame.
In addition, just because you do not feel or notice a draft in your home does not mean that one isn’t there. Carbon also builds upon the wick as it burns and makes it burn irregularly. The wick and wax can both contain impurities or air bubbles from the manufacturing process that can cause an irregular flame. Why does my candle flicker when there is no wind?Ĭandles flicker with no wind because of impurities in the candle and because of carbon build-up. The flickering of a flame in a seemingly calm room can be explained in several ways. Lingering in the air will also be "that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees" given off by the flowering aroma of cinnamon, vanilla, candied fruits and peach.Candles are beautiful and strange, and this has led people to see meaning in candles beyond what is really happening. When you light the hand centered all natural fibre wick of your 100% Natural Soy Blend candle - your spirit will be renewed by the uplifting woodland scents of Cedar-Wood from the Pacific North West of The United States, along with earthy smell of patchouli from the far flung forests of Thailand and Indonesia. One of the most highly respected perfumists in Paris, France was inspired to create the scent for the Mystical Summer Forest candle, after reading a quote from Robert Louis Stevenson that went, "It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit."
