Due to the slightly rounded rim, the matte coating shows fine points of light along the top edge, most visible when the candle is lit. This is a characteristic of the finish and not a fault.

How Lumière et Ombre Finds Its Moment

The Right Time

The scent unfolds fully only when given time. Two to four hours, then Taormina, Alpes du Sud, or Lumière et Ombre reveals itself in its full depth.

Caring for the Flame

A trimmed wick ensures a clean burn pattern and a controlled, quiet presence.

Lasting Enjoyment

The first burn is decisive, let the surface melt completely to the edge. This care pays off with every subsequent lighting, it's the only way the burn pattern stays calm and even over the candle's entire lifespan.
