The rose petal scented candle brings a quiet, romantic moment into your home, the kind of feeling you would sense in the kitchen or living room of a French country house. The Le Chatelard 1802 workshop produces this little gem in Provence, and each candle is placed by hand into the stylish apothecary jar.
What 100% soy wax gives you
The candle is made entirely from soy wax, a plant-based natural material. It burns more cleanly than traditional paraffin, produces less soot and lasts longer. This means the 80 gram size still gives you around 20 hours of burn time, which translates into about 5-6 evenings of pleasant intimacy.
The discreet charm of rose petals
The rose does not pour out as a heavy, overwhelming perfume; it arrives in the room finely, with floral softness. It is a perfect companion to reading a book or enjoying a quiet dinner. The fragrance shows itself beautifully in the living room, the reading corner or the bedroom. The warm floral notes invite conversation and relaxation.
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 bookshelf or a bathroom shelf. The wick is made from organically grown cotton – it does not produce an unpleasant smell when burning and melts the wax evenly.
How to use the candle safely
During the first lighting, let it burn for at least one hour so that the wax surface melts evenly; this prevents later tunnelling. Do not let it burn continuously for more than 4 hours at a time. Before each lighting, trim the wick to about 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.
A gift idea for the people you care about
Thanks to the elegant glass and the restrained French aesthetic, it is a beautiful choice for a birthday, Mother's Day or Christmas. Our customers regularly choose it as a housewarming, graduation or thank-you gift.
