Palissandre des Indes | Grande Bougie parfumée

The warm, raw wood smell fills my whole apartment within minutes of lighting it, and the hot tones are exactly what I wanted for cozy evenings. The scent stays surprisingly balanced—not too sweet, not too smoky—and the burn has been even so far.

I've burned it every evening for a week and the raw rosewood still comes through warm and deep rather than sweet. The throw is strong enough to fill my living room but never feels heavy. Easily the most refined candle I've owned.

The raw rosewood note is what sold me, and it actually smells like real wood rather than some fake vanilla candle. Burn time is solid too, I've had it lit most evenings for two weeks and it's barely gone down.
