Do I need to trim my wick?

The OpenWick in each Cue candle is ready to light out of the box; there is no need for trimming upon first lighting. OpenWick is also self-trimming throughout the entire burn of the candle. If your OpenWick flame exceeds ½”, we recommend trimming your wick to ¼”.


How long should I leave my candle burning at one time?

We recommend burning your candle for four hours on the first burn. Do not leave your candle burning for more than 5 hours and allow the candle to cool once extinguished. Remember to never leave a candle burning unattended. Stop use when a ¼”of melted wax remains.

Where did the name Cue come from?

Cue means to prompt something and we feel that scent prompts so many exciting things in life – emotions, memories, locations. We hope our innovative candles will prompt an exciting new experience in your life!

For the nerds among us, an olfactory cue is the chemical signal received by the olfactory system that represents an incoming signal received through the nose. AKA, how we smell something!

No, our state-of-the-art production processes and lab facilities ensure all our candles are ecologically sound, sustainable, and manufactured without any pesticides or parabens.


Are Cue candles USA made?

Yes! We are proud to say our jars, fragrance oils, waxes and our patented OpenWick are all 100% manufactured right here in the USA.


Should I use a USB lighter to light my Cue candle?

USB lighters can damage the OpenWick when attempting to light your candle. We recommend using long matches or a multi-purpose lighter for best results.
