Bois de Santal Candle

The Bois de Santal Candle is an aromatic journey born from the enchanting memory of a young Frédéric Malle. As a child, he stood at the threshold of a Parisian apartment, his senses enveloped by the alluring scent of a magnificent sandalwood Buddha statue that graced the space. The fragrance of the sandalwood had spread its captivating embrace throughout the entire apartment, casting an irresistible spell upon him. This indelible memory continued to haunt him, urging him to translate it into a candle fragrance that would recreate the enchantment of that moment. Only then could he embark on a sensory voyage that would transport him all the way to India and back, all from the comfort of his living room.

Frédéric Malle’s candles, exemplified by the Bois de Santal Candle, are not just sources of illumination; they are also exquisite decorative pieces and potent fragrance diffusers. Meticulously crafted, the wax is tailored to complement each unique fragrance oil, hand-poured around a wick that burns with a clean and precise flame. Encased in a minimalist porcelain jar with a striking color contrast of pure white on the outside and vibrant red on the inside, these candles possess the transformative power to turn any room into a sanctuary of warmth and comfort, your own private haven.With the Bois de Santal Candle, you invite the allure of exotic sandalwood and the enchantment of distant India into your home, creating a space that resonates with the captivating memories of a bygone era.
