Lalique Oceans Scented Candle, Gold Edition

Part of the Voyage de Parfumeur collection, a Lalique candle is an opulent treasure that fills a room with a complex scent designed by master perfumers. The Oceans Gold Edition candle is inspired by the euphoria of ambergris, encouraging the perfumer to continue his voyage and discover the fabled spices traded for thousands of years. The crystal candle is adorned with handcut swallows that are enhanced with lacquered gold as if catching the sun’s rays while flying over the ocean. Originating from tropical Asia, Sandalwood is a rich, musky, warm wood primarily cultivated in Southern India. Used during religious ceremonies for over 4,000 years, building temples and monasteries, and for carving perfumed divinities. According to the biblical story, King Solomon used the highly prized sandalwood given to him by the Queen of Sheba to make balustrades to the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and to construct lyres and harps for the musicians. Aromatic raw material of great value, the essence of sandalwood is obtained after distilling wood and roots. Known as liquid gold, its fragrance is milky and suave, oriental and powdery, smooth and heady. The white wax candle is presented in stunning mouthblown clear crystal, handcut with the Swallows motif. Once burned, the candle becomes a fabulous satin crystal vase. Handcrafted in France. Limited edition of 999.

Holds 26½ ounces. Burn time approximately 80 hours.
