The Woods collection of scented candles and Totem fragrance diffusers pays homage, in the very structure of its hand-blown glass, to the magic of forests. Trees reach for the sky, and forests bring us back to basics, like a benevolent refuge in which to take walks throughout the seasons. The magic of glass, handled by the dexterity of our craftsmen, breathes life into vertical lines reminiscent of the beauty of nature. Three candle and diffuser designs, each paired with a unique fragrance, are named after mythical forests: Brocéliande, Risoud, and Sherwood.
Sherwood
Made famous by the legend of Robin Hood, the Sherwood Forest is a wonderful world set in the English countryside, where majestic oaks stand like characters out of a Tolkien novel.
The glass of the Sherwood scented candle is punctuated with vertical lines resembling majestic trunks reaching for the sky. Deep green, with khaki highlights that sometimes fade into browns or yellows, the candle comes alive with bewitching reflections, releasing a fragrance with resolutely woody, aromatic notes. Rosemary is highly aromatic in the top note but quickly fades to give way to Atlas cedar in the heart note, with a dry vetiver base.
The Sherwood scented candle is also available in 5 l and 2 l Totem fragrance diffusers.
The glass of the bottles, in shades of green, establishes itself in interiors as a unique and majestic decorative object. The woody fragrance of Sherwood Totem diffusers is wonderfully at home in sophisticated, elegant settings.
Brocéliande
It has often been thought that the forest of Brocéliande, Merlin the Enchanter’s holiday retreat, didn’t exist. But it does, and it’s located in Brittany, in the west of France. Far from the Arthurian legends, this realm is home to the secrets of Breton tales, where knights and fairies fall madly in love at nightfall.
An enchanting fragrance of light aromatic notes emanates from the Brocéliande scented candle, like a promising charm. An invitation to daydream, with notes of elemi and vetiver wood that leave a woody trail. This fades to give way to the delicate sensation of dew on tree moss. The glass, with its vertical lines reminiscent of woods, oscillates subtly between gray and lavender, revealing ample refinement.
Brocéliande Totem fragrance diffusers are magnificent objects for scenting your home with the freshness of the woods that remains with each passing season.
Risoud
Head for the Swiss border and pay tribute to Europe’s largest forest: the Risoud Forest. It’s a spruce forest, and acts as a natural border between Switzerland and France. It’s here that the world’s great luthiers seek out their wood to carve the finest instruments.
To make the glass for candles and fragrance diffusers, a glowing ball is dipped in natural pigments that react randomly. It is then delicately covered with another strand of glass, placed vertically.
It’s only when the glass is blown that the decoration comes to life, revealing the vertical lines that run through the glass in this collection. The background color, born of contact between molten glass and powdered pigments, evolves according to temperature. Of them all, red remains the most difficult to obtain consistently.
The deep red glass of the Risoud scented candles and Totem fragrance diffusers references the richness of precious stones. It takes all the dexterity of Polish craftsmen to ensure this color’s harmonious distribution.
