The Garrigue scented candle is made from hand-crafted ceramic with a debossed pattern of branches and leaves. A matte, mottled yellow glaze covers the ceramic, contrasted by a glossy celadon green glaze on the inside. The colors of this candle are both subtle and decorative, to be placed in any interior like an organic sculpture.
The top note is a floral scent of orange blossom, followed by woody notes in the heart and base, with a hint of leather on a patchouli wood base.
Our ceramic candle collections are a reminder of a noble material from the earth, the one we knead, mold and glaze. All our ceramics are handmade in Portugal. A mold is first developed and reproduced in all our sizes. The material is poured into it and then dried and hardened. After a few days, the object is taken out of the mold and plunged into the glaze to cover it with color. This is when the final transformation takes place: the piece is fired at very high temperatures in a kiln. The magic of the material and the work of craftsmen who practice the same gestures from generation to generation.
The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burnt, it is important to wait until the entire surface liquefies before extinguishing the candle. This will prevent the formation of craters which are unattractive and make burning more difficult. The first time you light your candle, it will always burn for longer than on subsequent occasions. Allow time for the first layer of wax to liquefy completely. The length of time this takes varies depending on the size of the candle.
Never burn the last 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax to avoid flames burning against the glass.
