Porte des Lilas scented candle by celebrated French ceramic house, Astier de Villatte. A dream of times past: next stop, Porte des Lilas. At the exit of the celebrated 20s metro station, the stairs bring the delighted voyager to alleys neatly bordered by pretty little houses, with mauve lilacs overflowing their garden fences. One is enraptured by the delicious and verdant fragrances, mixed here and there with puffs of rose and jasmine.

Scent family - Floral.

Notes: Lilac, rose, and jasmine.

Size: 260g, burntime 60 - 70 hours.

The candle fragrances were developed by Astier de Villatte designers and perfumer Franoise Caron who worked with a team at Takasago.

The candles are made of biodegradable vegetable wax (a mix of soy, beeswax, and plant extracts) and have cotton wicks.

The glass is hand blown in Tuscany, making each one completely unique.

• Care instructions: ensure the entire wax surface is molten each burn before extinguishing the flame. Trimming the wick after each burn prevents soot forming on the glass.
• The labels and packaging for the candles are printed by Monsieur Huin, the last typesetter in France.
