175,00 €

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 "Paris monuments" dated from 1812, its scent of leather and tobacco evokes an old library and, its title, "Le Spleen de Paris" (The Parisian Prowler, 1855), is a tribute to the poems collection by the famous French writer Charles Baudelaire.

Olfactory notes: leather, tobacco, wood.
The woody and sensual smell of the library of a parisian apartment. Fireplace, polished parquet floor and antique books diffuse a scent of leather and tobacco.

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.
