FAQ's About Our Soy Candle Refills

How do I use a Mimi & August candle refill?

Once your candle has finished burning, clean your ceramic cup with warm soapy water to remove any remaining wax. Let it dry completely, place the new refill inside, and light the wick. No melting or pouring required. The refill is ready to burn as soon as you place it in the cup.

Do the refills fit any candle container?

Our refills are designed specifically for Mimi & August reusable ceramic cups. Each size 3 oz, 5.5 oz, and 11 oz matches the corresponding cup format for a precise fit. We cannot guarantee they will fit containers from other brands.

What are the refills made of?

Each refill is made with 100% natural soy wax, a lead-free cotton wick, and non-toxic, phthalate-free fragrance. They contain no paraffin, synthetic dyes, or animal products. All refills are vegan and cruelty-free.

How long do the candle refills burn?

Burn time depends on the size. The 3 oz refill burns for approximately 12–15 hours, the 5.5 oz for about 25–30 hours, and the 11 oz for approximately 55–65 hours. For the best results, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use and allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn.

Are candle refills more affordable than buying a new candle?

Yes. Since you already own the ceramic cup, you only pay for the wax and wick. Refills are priced lower than full candles, making them a more economical way to continue enjoying your favourite Mimi & August scents.

Can I switch to a different scent when I refill?

Absolutely. You can choose any available fragrance each time you refill. Simply clean your cup thoroughly between scents to avoid mixing fragrances, and drop in whichever refill you prefer.

Where are the candle refills made?

All Mimi & August candle refills are hand-poured in small batches at our workshop in Longueuil, on the south shore of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We use locally sourced soy wax and prioritize sustainable, small-batch production.

How Our Candle Refills Work

When your candle has finished burning, simply clean your ceramic cup with warm soapy water, place a new refill inside, and light it. No melting, no pouring, no tools needed. The refill drops right into your existing reusable candle cup for a seamless transition from one scent to the next. It's the easiest way to enjoy a new fragrance while keeping the container you already love.

Why Choose Soy Wax Refills?

Our refills are made with 100% natural soy wax, a renewable, plant-based alternative to paraffin. Soy wax burns cleaner producing significantly less soot and lasts longer at the same size. Every refill is vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and hand-poured in small batches at our South Shore of Montreal workshop. By refilling instead of replacing, you reduce packaging waste and keep your handmade ceramic cup in use for years.

A Size for Every Space

Our candle refills are currently available in three formats: 3 oz for bedside tables and small rooms, 5.5 oz for everyday use in living spaces and offices, and 11 oz for larger rooms and longer burn times. Each size fits precisely into its corresponding Mimi & August ceramic cup. No adjustments needed, just drop in and light. New formats are regularly added to the collection, so check back often.

Better for the Planet, Easier on Your Wallet

Choosing a candle refill means less waste and more value. Since you already own the cup, you pay only for the wax and the wick making each refill more affordable than buying a new candle.
