What customers say
Customers adore the exceptional quality and sophisticated fragrance of the Cythere candle.

Know before you buy
Because this is a votive candle, you must place it in a dedicated votive holder to ensure it burns safely and maintains its shape. Always trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch before lighting and aim for burn sessions of two to three hours.
The Cythere Votive is specifically designed for smaller spaces where its fragrance can be most effective. For larger areas, you may find that the scent throw is too subtle, making it better suited for bathrooms, bedside tables, or small home offices.
The Cythere scent is part of Rigaud’s signature collection, known for a sophisticated and refined fragrance profile. It is an excellent choice if you are looking to experience the brand's classic, high-end aesthetic without committing to a larger, full-sized candle.
As with all fine candles, always burn the votive within sight and on a heat-resistant surface. Keep it well away from flammable objects, drafts, children, and pets to ensure a safe experience.
To preserve the integrity of the wax and the fragrance, store the votive in a cool, dry place. It is important to keep it out of direct sunlight, as UV exposure can cause the wax to discolor or the scent to degrade over time.
