Dust particles can accumulate on the surface of the candle, which can lead to unwanted contamination and reduced fragrance distribution. With a lid you keep your candle clean and in top condition.

Fire safety A lid can also help keep your candle safe. While you should never leave a burning candle unattended, a lid can help smother any small flames or sparks if an accident occurs. It provides an extra layer of protection and can help reduce the risk of uncontrolled flames.
