OLFACTORY WALK

After a walk on a tributary of the Mekong, I reach the huge floating market of Cai-Rang. My gaze is drawn to a junk overflowing with flowers, where AHN, a young saleswoman with a bright smile, invites me on board. I told her about my passion for flowers and perfumes. She told me about the lotus, a symbol of purity and devotion in Vietnam. Its flowers, depending on their colour - white, pink, red or purple - give off unique scents: floral and sweet, sometimes sensual and warm. Some surprise me with their powdery touches, others with their fresh, aquatic, vegetal accents.

Back in Paris, the memory of her smile and her magnificent bouquets, which she carefully wrapped in large canna flowers, has never left me.

Composition

BERGAMOT - LOTUS BLOSSOM - AMBER

Each of our HAROLD & MAUDE candles is made from natural 100% waxes. No mineral wax, so no paraffin derived from petroleum. The fragrances we use are all guaranteed free of CMR substances and phthalates.

First use

When you use it for the first time, after cutting the wick (about 5 mm), let the candle burn until the entire surface has become liquid! Because of the size of the candle, this may take around 4 hours (allow for this). This step will prevent the wax from hollowing out and forming a permanent crater around the wick.

It may happen that the wax does not melt completely around one edge of your candle (our candles are poured and the wicks placed one by one, by hand, and are therefore never centred to the millimetre). In this case, just before extinguishing the candle, gently use the tip of a knife to lift and slide this little crescent of soft wax into the liquid wax.

Directions for use

Use your HAROLD & MAUDE candle with care! After firing, each of the ceramic pots has been given a matt, unglazed top coat. This beautiful velvety finish may be susceptible to small scratches if handled incorrectly.

For rooms larger than 40m2, we recommend you burn 2 candles of the same fragrance, well apart from each other, for better fragrance diffusion.

Before each lighting, cut the wick so that it does not exceed 5 millimetres. Use a special candle wick cutter to avoid scratching the ceramic.

Use a snuffer to extinguish it, to avoid black smoke and the wick drowning. If necessary, gently re-centre the wick with the side of your wick cutter or the tip of a knife while the wax is still soft.

Safety advice

Place your HAROLD & MAUDE candle on a flat surface and do not leave it unattended. Avoid draughts.
