The Ancient Mark collection is named after the Aboriginal communities which their greatest artists come from: Apyland for the grey, Papunya for the terracotta and Utopia for the turquoise. All three spread the same geranium-based fragrance, perfect for outdoor terraces to keep mosquitoes away on summer evenings.
The Utopia scented candle is made from hand-crafted ceramics engraved with aboriginal symbols in the material. The matte light turquoise glaze is dotted with random vertical lines. Utopia is a community located 250 km from Alice Springs and run mainly by women. Known for their batik designs, artists with very particular styles are emerging.
Usage
The following table indicates the approximate burn time for every size:
| Max 10 |
60 Hours |
| Max 16 |
150 Hours |
| Max 24 |
400 Hours |
| Maxi Max |
800 Hours |
The above burning times are indicative only and can vary from one model to the other. The indicated burning time assumes a correct usage of the candle. A candle with an already liquid wax gets used up faster than a candle with partially solid wax. For that reason, we recommend that you blow out your candle an hour after the wax has completely liquefied. This will allow it to last longer.
Burning
The quality of our scented candles implies a specific burning protocol. During burning, it’s important to wait for the entire surface of the candle to liquefy before putting it out. This will prevent the formation of craters, which are both aesthetically displeasing and make future burning difficult. The first time you light your candle should be longer than the following times. Put aside some time so that the entire surface may liquefy. The length of this phase varies depending on the size of the candle: A max 10 takes about 3 to 4 hours, a max 16 between 5 and 6 hours, and a max 24 or a maxi max about 8 to 10 hours. Other burning instructions are inside the Baobab candle box.
