Bastien has selected a unisex chic black stained-glass candle jar in which to envelope the first candle in his new collection. The head notes, the liveliest, the freshest, the wildest notes that come to the fore at first light, evoke woodlands: pine needles, spices, and mugwort, a stimulating plant favoured by the Gauls. The middle notes, which give the fragrance its character, combine the sultry scents of citrus and conifers with the nobility and elegance of cedar wood. Like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland, who disappeared and left only his smile behind, the base notes continue to float in the air after the candle has been extinguished. The unforgettable low notes that stay with us conjure up the scent of moss enriched with a drop of white sandalwood and its deliciously aphrodisiac qualities.
