THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE SCENT

THE CHAPEL

Accompanying her grandmother Jeanine to church every weekend, our founder, Elise, recalls the smell of snuffed candles, a chill in the air and the creaking of old wood that inspired this spiritual fragrance, La Chapelle or 'The Chapel'.

PREMIERES BOUGIES

Our first collection of scented candles launched in 2012. They evoke a nostalgic, olfactive walk through a typical Sunday for our founder, Elise, when she was 8 years old in France.

Soy and coconut wax blend with cotton wick.

Dimensions: height 9.7cm, width 7.3cm, diameter 8.3cm.

300g approx. 70 hours burn time.

The first burn is the most important as it sets the burn memory. When lighting for the first time, ensure it is alight long enough for an even wax pool to develop to the edge of the vessel.
To ensure an even burn and the best scent throw experience, be sure to trim the wick to 5mm before each use.

After extinguishing the flame, make sure the wick stands upright in the centre of the vessel.
Never burn a candle for longer than 2 hours, or when the wax level reaches less than 2cm from the vessel base.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from draughts, children, pets, or flammable objects like curtains.
Always ensure candles are placed on a non-flammable base while burning.

DID YOU KNOW?

Our original five scents were designed to recreate moments in Elise’s early childhood in the South of France. La Chapelle is a leather scent that reminds Elise of sitting in the village's stone church at 10am, amazed by the incense, myrrh and gold around her.
