Bougie Facettes Bois de Santal: Burn and Scent Care FAQ

What the Bougie Facettes Bois de Santal actually is

• Bougie Facettes - Bois de Santal: Four cotton wicks in a ceramic vessel, available in the 750GR size and scented Bois de Santal. The wick count and vessel material shape how you light, trim, and eventually reuse the candle.

  

• Bougie Facettes - Bois de Santal: The square, anchored shape is transformed by beveled angles, and the candle is made in France. The faceted ceramic is part of the object’s appeal, so care and second-life choices should protect it.

First burn and even wax pool questions

How long should the first burn of the Bougie Facettes last?

The supplied information does not give a specific first-burn duration. The general goal is a full, even melt pool across the surface before you extinguish it, but the exact time depends on your room and the candle. Watch the wax rather than the clock.

How do I get an even burn with four cotton wicks?

Light all four wicks each time so the heat is distributed evenly. Keep the wicks centered and upright, and avoid burning in a draft, which can push the flame to one side and create uneven melting. The catalog confirms four cotton wicks but does not provide a burn-time rating.

Why is my candle tunneling?

Tunneling usually happens when the first burn is too short or when the flame is disturbed by drafts. With the Bougie Facettes, make sure all four wicks are lit and let the wax pool reach the edges before extinguishing. If the tunnel has already formed, the catalog does not provide a recovery method; a candle care specialist or the brand can advise.

Wick trimming and flame care

How often should I trim the wicks?

Trim the cotton wicks before each lighting. The catalog does not specify a length, so follow general candle practice: remove the charred tip and any mushrooming, and keep the wick short enough to control the flame. Do not trim so short that the wick cannot draw wax.

What should I do if the flame gets too large?

Extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wicks before relighting. A large flame can be a sign of an untrimmed wick or a draft. The supplied record does not include a maximum burn time, so use your judgment and never leave the candle unattended.

Scent, storage and placement

How should I store the candle to preserve the Bois de Santal scent?

Keep the candle covered or in its original packaging when not in use, away from direct sunlight and heat. The catalog does not provide specific storage instructions, but limiting air exposure and temperature swings helps protect the scent and the wax surface.

Where should I place the Bougie Facettes in a room?

The catalog describes it as a decorative object for a coffee table, an entryway pedestal table, or a bedroom alcove. Choose a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and flammable materials. The faceted ceramic is meant to be seen, so place it where you can enjoy the shape as well as the scent.

Second life for the ceramic vessel

Can I reuse the ceramic once the candle is finished?

Yes. The catalog suggests giving it a second life as a pencil pot on a desk or a catchall in an entryway. The exact cleaning method is not supplied, so remove leftover wax gently and avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the faceted finish.

Does the catalog confirm the burn time or wax type?

No. The supplied information does not include a burn-time rating, wax composition, or fragrance notes beyond the Bois de Santal name. For those details, check the product packaging or contact Maison Sarah Lavoine directly.
