Napoleon Oratorio candle box, lid and matchbox

Acanthus scrolls intertwine on the hinges of the cathedral doors. A grandiose, eternal place, where you walk in silence, enveloped in notes of incense. Mystical resins that evoke distant memories and, once burnt, help the soul to soar. You'll find this scent in the Napoleon shape, the new candle container designed by Alix Depondt-Reynis. This search for a new shape was born of the designer's desire to renew the spirit of the candle and reconnect with the essence of the House, a world where sculpture adorns everyday life. This scented candle is inspired by the timeless shape of the cups created by the Sèvres factory for Emperor Napoleon I in the early 19th century. Each scent has been developed exclusively for Alix D. Reynis by a master perfumer in Grasse. The wax is made from vegetable oils and the wicks are pure cotton. Once the candle is burnt, the container can be reused as a vase, a tumbler, or even a jar thanks to its elegant lid, available separately. Notes: incense, elemi, cloves and rosemary.

Instructions for use: to ensure that the candle burns evenly, we recommend that you allow the wax to melt right up to the edges of the tumbler, and that you trim the wick regularly before use to prevent it giving off black smoke. The tumbler can be reused once the candle is finished and completed with the others in the collection. Clean it in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher to remove any remaining wax.
