SOUVENIRS DES MARQUISES - HAROLD & MAUDE

I have a wonderful memory of those paradisiacal islands whose fragrances perfumed our sweet walks. Sometimes, back at Villa Enata, our host Avera would teach me how to make these magnificent necklaces of white flowers with intoxicating scents. It could take hours! Like a little girl making a pearl necklace, I delicately threaded, one by one, the flowers of the sealing gardenia, then the stars of jasmine so fresh and sensual! Finally we associated the tiare flowers that burned with their small spicy and honeyed aromas, and the monoflowers with the taste of coconut and vanilla...

It smells like heaven.

Each of our HAROLD & MAUDE candles is made from 100% natural waxes, no mineral wax, so no petroleum-derived paraffin, and the perfumes we use are all guaranteed to be free of CMR and phthalates. 

In the first use and after cutting the wick (about 5 mm), let the candle burn until the entire surface has become liquid! The size of the candle is large, this may require about 4 hours of combustion, (expect it). This step will prevent the wax from burrowing and permanently forming a crater around the wick.

The wax may not completely melt on one edge of your candle. (The casting of our candles and the laying of our wicks are done one by one, by hand, and therefore are never centered to the millimeter.) In this case, just before extinguishing it, gently use the tip of a knife to lift and slide this small crescent of soft wax into the liquid wax.

Use your HAROLD & MAUDE candle with delicacy! After cooking, each of the ceramic pots has received a matte finish, not enamelled. This beautiful velvety finish may be sensitive to small scratches when handled incorrectly. 

Beyond a room of more than 40m2, and for a better diffusion of the perfume, we advise you to burn two candles of the same perfume, well away from each other.

Before each lighting, cut the wick so that it does not exceed 5 mm. Use a special wick cutter to avoid scratching the ceramic. 

Use a fire extinguisher to extinguish it, to prevent black smoke and drowning of the wick.If necessary, aim there gently with the edge of your wick cutter or the tip of a knife while the wax is still soft.
