The present invention relates to materials and systems useful for increasing the safety profile of a candle. In particular, the present invention provides a thermally-protective material that is useful to prepare labels or wraps to encircle or surround a candle. The present invention further provides a cool-touch thermally-protected candle assembly.

The present disclosure relates to a new way to manufacture and incorporate decorative features within a candle using a floating candle and a suspension base. The present disclosure describes a floating candle that may be located over a base with suspended decoration. In some aspects, the floating candle may comprise an ignitable wick that may extinguish prior to reaching the base. In some implementations, the base may comprise a liquid that may allow for movement of the decorations within the base. In some aspects, the base may comprise a rigid material, such as a hardened epoxy or polymerized monomer, wherein the curing of the material may occur after the decorations may be placed in the base.

Apparatuses and methods are provided for rapid and user-friendly manual setting of wicks into container candles. The apparatuses of embodiments include a wick setter that includes a proximal portion configured to receive a downward force. The wick setter also includes an elongated shaft coupled to the proximal portion and defining a longitudinal axis. The elongated shaft is configured to translate the downward force from the proximal portion onto a distal portion of the wick setter. The distal portion includes at least one wick tab holder disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. The wick tab holder includes a loop configured to engage a corresponding wick tab laterally with respect to the corresponding wick tab. The wick tab holder is also configured to apply a holding force onto the corresponding wick tab for holding the corresponding wick tab attached to the wick tab holder.

The invention provides self-care boxes and methods for using the self-care boxes for purposes such as self-expression, relaxation, enhanced self-awareness, and self-discovery.

Some embodiments are of systems and/or methods for facilitating and/or providing guided meditation that may include at least one light source (e.g., a candle), a key (e.g., a QR code or a RFID/NFC tag) with access-information, at least one server, and one or more audio files on that least one server. The access-information may be for accessing and/or using the one or more audio files. The key is provided with the light source. The key may facilitate access to the one or more audio files. During a given guided meditation session, the light source and the one or more audio files may be used together, provided that the key was used to grant access to the one or more audio files. The one or more audio files may be played from a user-computing-device, such as, but not limited to, a smartphone, a smart speaker, or a tablet computing device.

The various aspects presented herein relate to the perfumery industry. More particularly, the various aspects presented herein relate to the use of volatile compositions to limit, decrease or eliminate the perception of malodor. Such compositions include at least one malodor antagonist optionally combined with perfuming ingredients. Such compositions, their use in combination with delivery systems and their applications in consumer products are also objects of the present disclosure.

A stabilization composition for a scented candle formulation comprising: (A) an aromatic triazole compound of the formula (I)

##STR00001## wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrocarbon chain of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is a hydrocarbon chain of 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and R.sub.3 is hydrogen or methyl; and (B) at least one longer wavelength UV light absorber, preferably a 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazole.

An electronically controlled igniter device for a wick-containing item, and methods of use thereof, is described. The device is particularly advantageous in that it provides a convenient and safe device for igniting and optionally extinguishing the flame of a wick-containing item. The wick-containing item may be a standalone object, or a set of multiple electrically interconnected objects that can be individually controlled, or several groups of such objects may be remotely or locally controlled.

The present invention relates to the use of a composition containing 1,8-para-menthenethiol and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate, such as a plant extract and in particular an extract of timur (Zanthoxylum armatum), as odor-masking agent. It also relates to a deodorizing product in the form of an aerosol, candle, or electrical or wick fragrance diffuser, containing this composition.

A device that emits colored flames is disclosed. The device may include one or more electromagnetic coils within a housing. A fuel source may provide fuel such as hydrogen to an igniter at the input to the electromagnetic coil. The fuel may be ignited and a current may flow through the coil that may create a magnetic field. The ignited fuel may ionize creating an electric current that may accelerate the combusting particles through the coil. The current may create a magnetic field that may force the ionized particles into cyclotron orbits. Coloring additive such as salts may be added to the combusting fuel to provide color to the resulting flames.
