Maison de Plaisir Candle
September 1877, Port of Marseille, France.
In a bedroom in a Marseille Maison de plaisir, a ‘pleasure house’, a Kashmiri shawl drapes decadently over a bed. Once coveted, the shawls are now out of fashion with the bourgeois, their distinctive patchouli scent a victim of their downfall. Adopted by misfits and courtesans, the shawls add a note of exoticism to bohemian rooms, mixing their decadent scent with French lavender, musky ambers and heady balsams.
A high-concentration luxury perfumed candle developed with perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux.
Estimated burning time: 55 to 60 hours.
Hand poured in the USA
9 oz / 255g
