The table below gives the approximate burning times, depending on the candle size:

Max 10 : 60h

Max 16 : 150h

Max 24 : 400h

Maxi Max: 800h 

The above burning times are indicative and may vary from one model to another. The burning times given assume that the
candle is used correctly.

A candle burns more rapidly when the wax is totally liquefied than when it is still partly solid. We therefore recommend
that you extinguish your candle one hour after the wax has become totally liquid. This will extend its useful life.

In order to enjoy an optimal burning experience, please read the following instructions carefully:

Burning

The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burnt, it is important to
wait until the entire surface liquefies before extinguishing the candle. This will prevent the formation of craters which are unattractive and make burning
more difficult. The first time you light your candle, it will always burn for longer than on subsequent occasions. Allow time for the first layer of wax to liquefy completely. The length of time this takes varies depending on the size of the candle: a Max 10 candle will take 3 to 4 hours, a Max 16, 5 to 6 hours and a Max 24 or a Maxi Max between 8 and 10 hours.

We also recommend that you put out the candle within one hour once the surface of the wax has liquefied completely. This will ensure that your candle lasts longer, as the liquid wax evaporates far more quickly.

Take care not to let your candle burn unattended and do not expose it to sources of heat or to draughts. Exposure to draughts will cause the flame to flicker and give off black smoke.

In addition, take care not to burn the last centimetre of wax as a flame burning against the glass may cause it to shatter.

Care

To maintain the aesthetics and extend the
life of your scented candle, it is important to care for it properly once it has finished burning.

Keep the burning instructions leaflet supplied with your candle in a safe place. To avoid soot forming, cut the wicks regularly to a maximum height of 0.6 cm and clean the inside of the glass using an alcohol-free product. Every time after the candle has been burning, reposition the wicks in the centre if necessary.

You will find the accessories needed to look after your candle on the Accessories page.

To look after and burn your Baobab Collection scented candle as well as possible, please consult our‘Art of Burning’ page and read the safety instructions carefully.

Your candle may be standing on a slightly sloping surface. If so, turn the candle gently.

Your candle may also be in a draught. In this case, turn the candle or place it gently in a less exposed area.

The surface of your candle must always remain even to avoid the formation of holes that could drown the wicks. We therefore recommend that you do not put out your candle until the wax has liquefied completely.

The refills contain 500 ml or 1 l
of fragrance.

It is important to pour the entire contents of the refill into the diffuser to ensure that the fragrance is properly replenished and protect it against the detrimental effects of UV rays.

The refill will last as long as the
diffuser.

When you pour in the refill, be sure not to let the fragrance overflow. This could damage the container of certain diffusers and your furniture.

The diffuser refills must not be left within reach of children or near a heat source (flame or kitchen stove).
