The Tanjung scented candle lies in an opaline glass hand-blown by our glass craftsmen. Multiple colours are sprinkled throughout the glass, recalling the tones of the mysterious landscapes of Indonesia. Indonesia is home to many large tropical forests where animal and plant biodiversity lies protected. The Tanjung National Park is located in the southwest of the island of Borneo and covers 355,000 hectares. Orangutans live in the wild and make up the largest reserve of this species in the world. These mysterious jungles house unique species and extraordinary birds, such as the Bird of Paradise found in Papua.
Its woody fragrance with notes of cedar and galbanum will transport you to the freshness of the tropical forest, populated by extraordinary fauna.
The candles burn for a long time, and once the wax and scent are finally exhausted the hand-blown glass can be repurposed into gorgeous home decoration, for example, a drinks cooler, planter or tea light holder.
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.
