The Nocturna wick trimmer is an essential candle tool to maintain your candle. It is matte black with an intricate engraving detail, encased in a black velvet keepsake bag. Use the wick trimmer to carefully trim excess wick between burns. When you have extinguished your candle, allow it to cool. You will see your wick has a blackened tip. Trimming this away ensures the best, safest burn. If you ever notice your flame is too high, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool and trim the wick.
