Notre Dame Candle

The Notre Dame Candle pays homage to Frédéric Malle's early experiences as an altar boy, an episode that, while short-lived, left an indelible mark on his memory - the haunting aroma of church incense. In a testament to artistry and reverence, perfumer Bruno Jovanovic masterfully recreates the ambiance of an evening mass within the hallowed walls of a Parisian church. This fragrance evokes the dry warmth of vaporized incense, a sensory journey that transports you to the sacred, echoing chambers of Notre Dame.

Frédéric Malle's candles are true works of art, seamlessly merging form and function. Each candle is not merely a source of illumination but also a powerful fragrance diffuser. The wax, meticulously tailored to complement the unique fragrance oil, is lovingly hand-poured around a wick that burns with a clean and precise flame. The candle's jar is a study in minimalistic elegance, featuring a striking color contrast - pristine white on the outside and a vibrant red on the inside, all encased in matte porcelain. Once ignited, these candles work their magic, weaving an enchanting cocoon of warmth and comfort in any room, transforming it into your personal sanctuary.

With the Notre Dame Candle, you invite the sacred serenity of a Parisian church into your home, creating a space that resonates with the timeless elegance and reverence of Notre Dame's sacred halls.
