Before lighting your first Linger Lane Candle, you may have a few questions about candle care, ingredients, fragrance strength, and shipping. Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about our hand-poured souy candles, how to get the best burn, and what makes Linger Lane fragrances unique.
Linger Lane candles are designed to capture moments and memories through layer fragrance. Each scent is thoughtfully blended to evoke a specific atmosphere or moment like a slow morning, windows open after a fresh rain, or a quiet evening at home curled up with a book. Our goal is to create fragrances that feel like places and experiences you want to return to.
Linger Lane candles are hand-poured in small batches in Pekin, Illinois. Each candle is carefully crafted to ensure consistent fragrance, quality ingredients, and a clean burn.
After a trip to Galena, Illinois, our founders were inspired to begin making candles. The name Linger Lane was created around the idea that scent has the power to transport us back to meaningful places and moments. Every fragrance is developed to capture a feeling your want to linger in a little longer.
Linger Lane candles are made with 100% plant-based soy wax. We chose soy wax because of it's clean burn, smooth finish, and ability to hold fragrance beautifully while being a natural product. The specific soy wax we use is specifically formulated to provide an enhanced fragrance throw as well as to withstand higher temperatures which reduces issues while being shipped during warmer months.
We source only high-quality fragrance oils that are vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic including being Prop 65 compliant and phthalate-free. The fragrance oils are carefully blended to create layered, atmosphere-driven scents. Each fragrance is designed to unfold gradually as the candle burns.

Burn your candle for no more than 3-4 hours at a time, keep the wick trimmed, and allow the wax to cool completely before relighting.
Each fragrance is designed like a sensory experience: beginning with an atmosphere, unfolding through layered scent notes, and finishing with a feeling that lingers in the space.
Our founders combine fragrance oils to achieve the scent experience of the specific moment, place, or memory that they are aiming for each candle to evoke.
