L’Art de Vivre by Guerlain
By turning the Eaux de Parfum of its new collection l’Art & la Matière into scented candles, Guerlain invites itself into our homes and bring us a new olfactory experiences.
The Maison perfumes’ names like Shalimar, La Petite Robe Noire, or even Mon Guerlain, could most certainly become common names. As their fragrances have already become so familiar and recognisable to us. Will the new l’Art & la Matière collection become as legendary as these timeless icons? Following the 17 Eaux de Parfum fragrances trail, these scented candles gift us with their subtle and suave aromas.
The fragrance of Guerlain scented candles
For some time now, the famous perfumers have been expanding their range of aromatic offers into new universes. Of course, the Maison Guerlain is no exception. The home collection l’Art de Vivre exhilarates our senses by bringing their fragrances into our living rooms. Figue Azur breathes a fruity and woody aroma with green notes of the Mediterranean fruit. Encens d’Hiver evokes Russia and its Siberian wood mixed with smoked tea. Ylang d’Outremer blends exotic notes of ylang ylang with frangipani flowers.
Bois des Indes pays tribute to the country that fascinated Jacques Guerlain (which gave birth to Shalimar). Indeed, it mixes the sweet smell of spices and sandalwood. While Muguet de Printemps breathes a fresh aroma of rose and jasmine. And let’s not forget Épices sous les étoiles delivering a delicate and indulgent scent of patchouli mixed with candied fruits and gingerbread, just like a “madeleine de Proust”.
An eco-responsible candle jar for Guerlain scented candles
True to its eco-responsible commitment, Guerlain candles are made with beeswax (the brand’s symbol). And the are placed inside a black candle jar made of glass. The candles lasts 55 hours and are refillable. Indeed, the wax, which comes inside a recycled plastic holder, can be easily placed inside the candle jar that can be used indefinitely.
