How to Make Your Candles Burn More Evenly (and Last Longer)
Trim the wick before lighting, burn the candle to the edges on the first use, and avoid tunneling. Don't burn for too long at a time and cover the candle when done to keep it clean and potent.

Options like Capri Blue Cactus Pineapple Flower Petite Jar, Capri Blue Volcano Petite Jar, Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day candles, Threshold candles, and Apothia Bronzed Candle have their own characteristics and pros and cons.
