Russian Nights Candle

The Russian Nights Candle is a captivating olfactory journey that transports you to a night at Café Pushkin, where indulgence takes the form of rich spice cake served alongside steaming black tea from a gleaming silver samovar. Beyond the cafe's cozy embrace, a winter's night blankets the streets in a pristine layer of snow, casting an enchanting spell upon the candied spires of Saint Basil's Cathedral. In this evocative atmosphere, the hauntingly beautiful strains of a babushka's impassioned song drift through the crisp air, adding a touch of melancholic magic to the scene. The fragrance of this candle is a harmonious blend of nutmeg, cinnamon, iris, and sandalwood, capturing the essence of these northern frosty nights with remarkable finesse.

Frédéric Malle's candles are more than mere sources of illumination; they are exquisite decorative pieces that double as potent fragrance diffusers. Each candle is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, with wax specifically tailored to complement the unique fragrance oil. The result is a clean and precisely burning flame, enveloped by a jar characterized by minimalistic elegance—white on the outside and a vibrant red on the inside, all encased in matte porcelain. When ignited, these candles weave a spell that transforms any room into a sanctuary of warmth and comfort, a personal retreat from the world's chaos.

With the Russian Nights Candle, you invite the romanticism of a winter's night in Moscow into your home, creating an intimate haven of comfort and nostalgia, where fragrant memories are cherished.
