Medici 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 with distant evocations that, once burnt, help the soul to soar. Alix Depondt-Reynis seeks out the soul of objects from yesteryear, and draws inspiration for her creations from the shapes of the past. The Médicis scented candle borrows its mythical silhouette from 16th-century Médicis vases. 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 rim of the timbale, and that you trim the wick regularly before use to prevent it giving off black smoke. The vase can be reused once the candle is finished and completed with others from the collection. Clean it in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher to remove any remaining wax.
