ARE YOU REALLY VEGAN & CRUELTY-FREE?

Yes! Unlike most solid perfumes made of beeswax, which isn't cruelty free and vegan as it is derived from bees, this perfume is rice-based, making it vegan and completely cruelty-free.
ARE THE SCENTS LONG LASTING?

We like to think so because our perfumes are not diluted with water and is at 40% concentration, but we'll let the facts speak for itself. We tested our perfumes on people (no to animal testing), and we noted 4-6 hours (still strong) and 6-10 hours (hardly there). But don't fret, there is plenty in the can for 3-4 applications a day.
HOW MUCH PRODUCT IS IN EACH CAN?

One regular size tin can contains approximately 20 grams (0.7 oz.) of product!
HOW LONG IS SHELF LIFE?

Most solid perfumes in the market normally offer theirs at 10-15g, so you can bet more wears with ours at 20g. The shelf life of each can is 3 years to keep the integrity of the scent.
WHAT IS PETE + ALIA CLOUD?

Pete + Alia CLOUD is our line of scented 100% soy candles. Rekindle your memories with every cloud.
CLOUD CANDLE CARE TIPS

Allow enough burn time for the surface of the candle to be completely melted. Initial burn time must be at least 1.5 hours, and burn for no more than 3-4 hours at a time. Trim wicks to ¼” each time candle is lit. Use the lid to extinguish the candle. Do not blow. Store scented candles in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. Place on a stable surface. Never leave burning candles unattended.

HOW LONG IS THE BURN TIME OF A CLOUD CANDLE?

Our 7 fl. oz. (200g) holds a good burn time of up to 50 hours!
WHY SHOULD I TRIM THE WICK AND ONLY BURN MY CANDLES FOR 3-4 HOURS AT A TIME?

Trimming the wick creates a smaller flame allowing the candle to burn slowly and get a longer burn time. Ensuring a maximum of 3-4 hours per burning ensures an edge to edge melt pool, maximizing the candle's scent when lit without wasting wax
WHAT MAKES A 100% SOY CANDLE DIFFERENT?

Made from soybeans, soy wax is all-natural, vegan, and non-toxic. It allows the candles to burn cleaner without releasing petrol-carbon soot. Soy wax also burns slower than paraffin, making your Pete + Alia CLOUD candles last longer.
YOUR POTS ARE SO CUTE! WHERE’D YOU GET IT?

Pete + Alia CLOUD scented 100% soy candles are poured into local artisan pots, which are locally handcrafted. Each pot features a unique finish, and not one is the same as the other. At Pete & Alia, we value beauty in custom imperfections
WHY DOES MY CANDLE TOP LOOK BUMPY AFTER BURNING?

The bumpy tops after burning are totally natural! This is a natural feature of soy wax when it melts and cools inconsistently and not a sign of defective candles. This does not in any way affect the scent of the candle.
WHY SHOULDN’T I BLOW THE CANDLE OUT?

Blowing the candle does not properly put out the wick. The inner body of the wick remains slightly burning. You also damage the pot and your surrounding furniture when droplets of the melted wax gets on surfaces. Instead, it is best to use the lid to extinguish the wick, which also prevents any smoke smell from ruining the ambiance you have created with your Pete + Alia CLOUD.
