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 "Brazil polychrome" dated 1862, its scent was created as an aroma emanating from an orangery and, its title, "Sentimental Education" (1869), is a tribute to the great French writer Gustave Flaubert.

Olfactory notes: citrus, mint, bark
The sparkling scents of the orangery. In the heart of the greenhouse, citrus fruits mixed with conifers, peppermint and bark exude a woody and energizing scent.

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.
