- How long does the Aurum candle burn?
- Baobab rates its large-format candles for many hours of burn time, and owners report weeks of evening use. Burn it in sessions of a few hours and trim the wick each time to get the most from it.
- Is the jasmine scent strong?
- It is a floral musk with moderate throw. It scents a living room or entryway well but will not fill an open-plan floor. In a small bedroom some find it sweet.
- Can I reuse the gold glass vessel?
- Yes. Once the wax is spent, clean the glass with warm water and a soft scraper and use it for storage or as a vase. Avoid abrasive pads, which dull the gold finish.
- How does it compare with Baobab's smaller candles?
- The scent family is similar, but this format gives far more burn time and a stronger presence. Smaller Baobab candles suit shelves and gifts; the Aurum is a room centerpiece.
- Where should I place it?
- On a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts, curtains and shelves above eye level. The glass gets hot near the base, so use a tray or coaster.
- What is in the box?
- One hand-poured candle in the gold glass vessel with a cotton wick. No lid or snuffer is included, so buy a wick trimmer and a candle snuffer separately.
