This precious candle is made up of a Limoges porcelaine pot and a scented wax refill. Its creation was inspired by the 19th century: its motifs come from the panoramic wallpaper "Eden polychrome" dated from 1861, its delicious scent evokes a garden of Eden and, its title, "Illusions perdues" (Lost Illusions, 1843), is a tribute to the novel of the great French writer Honore de Balzac.

Olfactory notes: violet, delicious fruits
The tangy scent  of lush nature like a lost paradise. The delicious and fruity scent of violets combines with the herbaceous scent of ferns.

Do not let the candle burn for more than 2 hours in one session. When you extinguish it, re-center the wick and cut it by 5mm. When it has finished burning, remove the wax cap from the bottom, pour in boiling water to melt the residue, then wipe with a cloth to remove the last traces. To keep the shine of the brass handle, rub it with a soft cloth.
