Head for the Swiss border with the Risoud scented candle, a tribute to Europe’s largest forest. This spruce forest, straddling France and Switzerland, is prized by luthiers for its exceptional wood.
Its deep red glass, reminiscent of precious stones, is created by dipping molten glass into natural pigments, then wrapping it in a vertical strand of glass. The decoration comes to life during the blowing process — the result of expert craftsmanship mastered by skilled artisans.
FRAGRANCE NOTES: The fragrance opens with the warm intensity of cumin — a spicy, enveloping note that evokes the depth of the forest. At the heart, plum brings a dark, velvety fruitiness, before giving way to a rich base of patchouli with deep woody accents. A mysterious and elegant composition, just like the Risoud Forest itself: wild, precious, and full of character.

USAGE
The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burned, 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.
