- How long does the Santal Goa candle burn?
- With a 21 oz fill and normal trimming, expect a long run of many evenings rather than a short sprint. Burn it in sessions of a few hours so the wax pool reaches the edge and the candle lasts evenly.
- What does Santal Goa actually smell like?
- The opening is fruity and bright from blackcurrant, blackberry and orange, with rose in the heart. It settles into sandalwood, cedar, amber, vanilla and musk, so the dry-down is warm and woody rather than sweet.
- Is this a good gift?
- Yes if the recipient likes woody-fruity scents and appreciates a decorative vessel. The wooden lid and black glass make it presentable without wrapping, and the Lalique name carries weight as a gift.
- Does it come with a lid?
- Yes, it ships with a wooden lid. Use it between burns to keep dust off the wax and to reduce the scent filling the room when the candle is unlit.
- How does it compare with other Lalique candles?
- Santal Goa is the warmer, woodier option; Lalique's lighter floral candles suit smaller rooms and daytime use. Choose this one when you want a scent that carries through an evening in a larger space.
- How should I care for it?
- Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each burn and let the top layer melt fully the first time. Keep it away from drafts, and wipe the black glass with a soft cloth to keep fingerprints down.
