Matiere Premiere Encens Oman Scented Candle
“The idea was to create candles that smell exactly like natural raw materials — not like candles. I focused on one specific olfactory moment in the life of each of these natural ingredients, because I believe in raw beauty,” says Aurélien Guichard, founder and perfumer of the brand.
The Encens Oman candle contains oil of the renowned frankincense from Oman. With this scent, Guichard sought to evoke freshly harvested drops of frankincense resin, just beginning to harden under the desert sun. A resinous, woody, and smoky aroma rises from the sacks in which the resin is collected.
The candles are made with 95% natural wax and have an average burn time of around 50 hours. Each candle features a pure cotton wick. The vessels are hand-filled with wax and crafted from Czech crystal, individually polished for a luminous finish, with a hand-lacquered interior.
