The cotton flower scented candle from the Provençal Le Chatelard 1802 workshop brings a clean, fresh feeling of home into your room. Just as the smell of sun-dried linen is both calming and refreshing, this candle also gives the space a delicate yet recognisable character, while the 100% soy wax burns evenly and quietly.
What the cotton flower fragrance means
Cotton flower is not a heavy, perfumed aroma. It is rather soft, slightly powdery and restrained, recalling the mood of freshly washed textiles dried in the open air. It is a good companion for reading, cleaning or family breakfast, because it does not overpower conversation and does not clash with the smell of food.
Why soy wax
Soy wax comes from plant-based raw material from a renewable source. It burns more cleanly than paraffin, produces less soot and does not build up a thick black layer on the glass walls. You get around 20 hours of burn time from the 80 gram size, which corresponds to about 5-6 evening sessions.
The details of the apothecary jar
The transparent glass has a classic apothecary shape that recalls the mood of nineteenth-century French pharmacies. It measures roughly 7 cm in diameter and 6.5 cm in height, so it fits easily on a bedside table, a shelf or a bathroom counter. The wick is made from organically grown cotton and does not give off an unpleasant smell when burning.
How to use the candle safely
At the first lighting, let it burn for at least one hour so that the wax surface melts evenly. Use it for a maximum of 4 hours at a time. Before each lighting, trim the wick to 1 cm – this burns more cleanly with less soot. Stop using the candle when only 1.3 cm of wax remains at the bottom. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it unattended.
Which rooms suit this scent
It fits well in the bedroom, the bathroom and the children's room thanks to its fresh character. For many people cotton flower is calming and does not disturb sleep. After longer cleaning or laundry it works even more harmoniously at home, as it carries the mood of freshness further.
