Steve’s Great Candle Quiz

## Are you candle smart?

Five quick questions. Get a perfect score and Steve hands over a promo code.

[Take the quiz](https://www.stevescandles.com/quiz?hsLang=en)

How it’s made

## No shortcuts. Just wax, oil, and a very steady hand.

![steve-pouring-wax](https://www.stevescandles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/steves-candles/steve-pouring-wax.jpg?width=800&name=steve-pouring-wax.jpg)

### 01 Poured by hand

Soy wax is melted low and slow, then poured jar by jar. Each candle cures before it ships, because Steve says rushing a candle is how you get a bad candle.

### 02 Scented with essential oils

Every blend is measured by hand with premium essential oils. Steve sniff-tests every batch. He has a very good nose. It’s also a very big nose.
