HEART NOTES: Sea Salt / BASE NOTES: Musk / HEAD NOTES: Lemon / OLFACTORY FAMILY: Citrus / HEIGHT: 10 cm / BURNING TIME: 60 Hours / COLLECTION: Côte d’Azur / The screen-printed decor for the Côte d’Azur candle was inspired by some of the elements in Thierry Larcher’s design, such as the Negresco and the legendary Promenade des Anglais. We wanted to go a step further by incorporating architectural elements from the town of Menton and the town of Saint-Tropez. In the hinterland, you can imagine forests of umbrella pines and dream of visiting the Maeght Foundation in the heights of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. As well as being decorative, the Côte d’Azur candle offers an olfactory journey with citrus accents. The top note is lemon, a tribute to the famous lemons of Menton; the middle note is sea salt, a tribute to the sea spray of the Mediterranean; and the base note is musk, to anchor this olfactory identity in a grounded allure that pays homage to the nature of Grasse. It all starts with an idea: a destination, a place, the memory of a setting, a happy moment. The power of creativity comes into play, and we decide to stylize a building, to revisit an abstract or figurative motif. The design takes shape and is then printed on a frame where natural pigments and precious metals fill in the details of the motif. The more colors there are in the design, the more frames are superimposed. Finally, the print can be brought to life on a biodegradable film, which is applied to the glass by hand like a decal, that fuses with the glass after passing through a 600-degree oven. The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burnt, it is important to wait until the entire surface liquefies before extinguishing the candle. This will prevent the formation of craters which are unattractive and make burning more difficult. The first time you light your candle, it will always burn for longer than on subsequent occasions. Allow time for the first layer of wax to liquefy completely. The length of time this takes varies depending on the size of the candle. Never burn the last 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax to avoid flames burning against the glass.
