On a trail surrounded by nature, damp nettle leaves reveal their green, aromatic, and enigmatic scent.
On the tree-lined path, they mingle with mint and a few violet leaves. Nettles, in the heart of the wilderness, awaken the senses.
The result of exceptional craftsmanship, the art of perfumery meets candle-making expertise. Each candle is made from a blend of several types of wax and a high-quality fragrance concentrate, as well as a selection of a wick that guarantee perfect scent diffusion and combustion. Meticulous work carried out in two factories, near Paris and in Provence, by master candle makers.
The bohemian neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1963.
The three founders' fascination with nature gave rise to an exceptional herbarium of scents. Flowers, fruits, trees, herbs and spices make up this living collection.
HOW TO USE
Prepare your space
- Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a stand or tray.
- Keep candles away from flammable materials.
- Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
Light the candle
- We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.
- During the first burn, make sure to let the candle burn until a uniform pool of melted wax has formed (about 4 hours depending on the scent). This prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick to absorb the wax properly, ensuring an even burn thereafter. Wicks may produce a small amount of smoke when first lit.
While burning
- Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time after the first burn.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Do not move a burning or unlit hot candle.
- Keep it away from draft.
- Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) between two candles.
After each use
- Snuff out the flame: use a snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax.
- Re-center the wick once the candle is out.
- Before relighting your candle, use a wick trimmer to trim the wick (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to avoid risk of fire.
Final note
- Stop using your candle once there is only 5 mm of wax left or the metal wick sustainer base becomes visible.
After care & storage
- We recommend airing out the room after burning a candle.
- Allow the wax to cool completely before moving your candle.
- Store it in a dry, temperate place (15 °C–25 °C / 59 °F–77 °F), away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration, pigmentation or dislodge of the wax.
