Wow! Very nice indeed!
Did you measure it standing up or lying down? Is the "other side" of the candle as good at the top?
The inside is relatively easy to model without any scan. It's the top that is challenging. The part isn't symmetric.
A mesh size with vertexes 4 LDU apart would be sufficient, 2 LDU if you want to create high res. Just for reference, a 48-sided cylinder would have the vertexes approximately 2.1 LDU apart at the outer rim (R16.6) of the candle.
