Know before you buy
Spirituelle is an herbal, atmospheric fragrance that balances the sharp, cooling notes of Moroccan mint with the dry heat of cracked black pepper. It has a distinct mineral quality that evokes the scent of cold stone, making it feel grounded and meditative rather than sweet.
Yes, the handcrafted iron container is designed to be repurposed once the candle has finished burning. Because each vessel is forged by hand, no two are exactly alike, making them excellent for holding small desk items or decorative objects.
This candle uses 100% soy wax, which provides a cleaner, slower burn than paraffin. It is free from parabens and designed to offer a consistent scent throw throughout its 60-hour lifespan.
To ensure the longest burn time and prevent soot, always trim the wick to about a quarter-inch before relighting. Because the vessel is metal, it can become quite hot during use, so be sure to place it on a heat-resistant surface.
The Spirituelle fragrance is sophisticated and nuanced rather than overpowering. It is best suited for creating an immersive, moody atmosphere in bedrooms, studies, or living areas where you want a subtle but transportive scent profile.
