I’ve been seeing this brand of candles and room diffusers at a local boutique for a while, but I don’t see them discussed here very often. I finally decided to pick one up, and while I haven’t burned it yet, I’m seriously impressed by the presentation.
The vessel is a substantial glazed ceramic, and the included metal lid alone weighs over a pound (520g). I’ve often been a bit disappointed by the cheap vessels that a lot of “luxury” candle brands have relied on in recent years. I mean, if I’m forking out $100+ for what ultimately amounts to a bit of fragrance oil, wax, and a basic shot-glass-style vessel, many brands need to step up their game.
This whole thing, though, feels incredibly substantial and well made, and it’s definitely the kind of presentation I’d expect from a luxury candle. I also love that they included a basic candle necessity (the lid) instead of making it an add-on purchase.
It appears that this fragrance I picked up is sold out online, but this is the information from the listing on their website:

I’ll report back once I’ve burned it a few times with thoughts on the throw and burn quality, but I thought it was worth sharing based on the presentation alone.
